It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.Psalm 127:2 (ESV)
And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.Matthew 8:24 (ESV)
We may wear different hats each day, requiring us to spend long waking hours. Sometimes that's okay, but at the end of that day, let us learn to give all our cares back to the Father. He created sleep for a purpose and it is His gift for us to be replenished. In the morning as we open our eyes again, He seals that sleep with a renewed mind, spirit, and soul.
Hi God! Thank You for thinking about me when You created sleep. You know me well, and You want me to be refreshed as I lay my head in bed. Thank You for teaching me how to honour You as I take care of my body - Your temple. I give all my concerns to You as I close my eyes. Goodnight, God! See You tomorrow! In Jesus' name. Amen.
