Wide Awake

Reference texts: Psalm 121, Matthew 11:28, Philippians 4:7

Lately, I’ve had difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.? My mind races in the middle of the night with thoughts, concerns, cares, and worries.? As a result, I usually stare into the darkness, desperately wanting to get more rest.?

I’m so glad that I can call upon God at any time and from any place.? He’s omnipresent, meaning that He’s everywhere at the same time.? It doesn’t matter if it’s 3 a.m. or 3 p.m., He is attentive to our prayers because He never sleeps.? And since He’s omniscient and knows everything, our prayers don’t have to be elaborate.? He can understand a single word and even the meaning behind it.? In His omnipotence, He has the power to change things and make things happen.

Jesus invites us to come to Him when we’re weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and He will give us rest.? When I tell God about everything in Jesus’ name, I eventually fall back to sleep.? My prayer for us is that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.? Amen.

The Lord bless you and keep you.? The Lord make His face shine upon you.? The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.? ?- Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV
