Blessed Sleep

“In peace I will lie down and sleep,

    for you alone, Lord,

    make me dwell in safety.”

Psalm 4:8

A good night’s sleep is so elusive to many.

A racing mind, vivid dreams, restless hearts; they all make for a tough time closing your eyes and sleeping peacefully.

But according to Psalm 127, God gives His beloved sleep.

How wonderful to rest and sleep in peace and safety.

How wonderful God is to His children.

Perhaps sleep, I mean deep, peaceful, restful sleep has been hard for you to come by.

Take the time today to pray before you put head to pillow.

Ask God for that restful sleep He has promised and as you close your eyes consider His many multiplied blessings.

As you drift off to sleep know that He continues to care for and love you.

He never slumbers nor sleeps and will not weary of watching over you.

And may you sleep the sleep of the blessed tonight.
