Prayer:
Dear Father,
I can’t sleep. I’m tossing and turning. Again.
I’m so thankful You never grow weary and You never sleep.
I’m thankful that You are here with me right now, even when my mind won’t stop churning and my head won’t stop spinning.
Even when I know that worrying gets me nowhere and my heart needs to rely on You.
I need You — the Good Shepherd — Because counting sheep just doesn’t work.
Would you comfort my heart as only You can? Will you rescue me from my own spiral of thoughts?
For I know that when I rest in You, peace like a river overflows my soul and I can praise You in advance for sweet rest.
Amen.
