LORD, I CAN’T SLEEP!
October 5, 2017
Prayer: Dear Lord, I ask You to guide me in my thinking. Please help me to stay peaceful and stop frenzied thoughts. Please help me to know about resting, and how not to waste time on useless things. Thank You. I pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Scripture: I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 NIV
Lord! I can’t sleep! My mind is going 500 miles an hour, whirring with things I have to do. I have so many deadlines! Papers to grade! Meetings to schedule! IEP’s to write! I can’t slow down! Help me Lord! Your Word said that You give Your beloved sleep. I’m Your beloved. When I lie down to sleep tonight, please let my sleep be sweet. Please lead me beside Your still waters. Please restore my soul. Please give Me Your assurance that I’m pleasing you. Please show me, give me some encouragement, and send a Word or a song or a Scripture that makes me know that what I am doing is the right thing. Slow me down, Lord. Not by some disease or car accident! Slow me down Lord by depositing Your peace in me. Thank You, Lord. I will sleep tonight and my sleep will be sweet.
