Get A Good Night’s Sleep

”I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.” –Psalm 4:8

It seems that bedtime is the toughest time for us to cope with the reality of life. It is then that we begin to feel the anxiety of all that we must face the next morning. It is then that our losses are felt most deeply, in a dark and quiet place. It is there that loneliness sets in most heavy and where our fears are most striking.

David proclaimed that he could sleep comfortably because of the peace given him by God. More than a weapon of protection or a house full of family, God’s presence gives us real rest from all of the world’s burdens. When you go to bed tonight, think godly thoughts and pray godly prayers. You’ll be surprised at the difference in how you rest as well as in how you face the world tomorrow.
