Go To Sleep

July 10, 2023

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)

When we are dealing with problems and issues, we can become so worried that we begin to lose sleep over them. No matter what we are doing that problem is always lingering in the back of our minds. It is almost like we cannot stop thinking and worrying about the problems we are dealing with. We have done all we can do to try to solve the problem, but the more we do the worse it becomes and we are now so worried that we are up early in the morning and late at night, worrying about what we cannot change. The Scripture reminds us, 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. I encourage you today to remember that The Lord is with you and He will work everything out in your favor. Stop working so much that you can’t sleep trying to make ends meet to pay bills. Stop worrying so much that you can’t fall asleep at night and you are up after only a few hours sleep, because of worry. Remember that The Lord is with you and He will give you the rest you need, as well as the blessing you need. You may not know how everything is going to work out, but you do know that God will work all things out for you. I am grateful that The Lord grants me sleep at night, and all those things that I am worried about I give them to Him, and I know that He will make a way for me. Since I have decided to sleep and not worry, I have no doubt, “It’s My Year To Get My Thing From My God!

Prayer:

Lord thank you for always providing for me. Thank you for never leaving me and even when I am worried, you give me the assurance that you are with me, and you give me the rest I need to keep going. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
