for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety
Psalm 4:8
Someone had said, " the rest of your life depends on
the rest of your nights." Many people, though, feel like
the little boy who was having trouble falling asleep. He
told his mother, "My body is lying down, but my mind
keeps sitting up!"
If anxious thoughts keep you awake, ask the Lord
to quiet your heart and give you the faith to be able to
relax and let Him solve the problem that disturb you.
That's what David did when he was in trouble, for he
wrote, "I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for
You alone, O Lord, make dwell in safety" (Psalm4:8).
When you realize that your heavenly Father is watching
over you, you can find sweet rest.
During World War II, an elderly woman in England
had endured the nerve -shattering bombings with amazing
serenity. When asked to give the secret of her calmness
amid the terror and danger, she replied, "well, every night I
say my prayers. And then I remember that God is always
watching, so I go peacefully to sleep. After all, there is no
need for both of us to stay awake!"
Yes, you may not only sleep, but you can do so peacefully
If you recognize that youy heavenly Father is tenderly
watching over you ---- Henry Bosch
" Before you sleep, just gently lay
Every troubled thought away:
Drop your burden and your care
In the quiet arms of prayer -- anon
" Because God never sleeps,
We can sleep in peace"
