Rest. God is handling every detail.

Isaiah 40:8 (ESV). “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

Psalm 32:8 (NIV). “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

“Praying the Promises of God” by In Touch Ministries:

“The Bible is a firm foundation, so trust God's words and live boldly.”

“Jesus said we would endure many hardships. But God provided amazing tools to keep trials from overwhelming us. He placed His Spirit inside us to guide and empower. He gave us prayer so we could not only communicate and stay connected with Him but also bring Him our requests. Today let’s look at another of His marvelous gifts: the Bible.

Scripture is the Word of God Almighty. It is truth. It never changes. There are thousands of promises in the Bible—assurances that we can rely on with perfect confidence. And wise believers will turn His promises into prayers, which they express as the cry of their heart.

Let’s look at an example that relates to difficult decisions. Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.” We can pray God’s words back to Him, saying we believe that He will teach us and reveal His path—and that He’ll remain by our side as our caregiver through the entire situation.

When hardships arise, we need a solid foundation. Otherwise, our emotions could easily lead us astray through faulty thinking. God is faithful and unchanging, so we can trust in His promises, which enable us to rest confidently and act boldly.”

God, when I get impatient, remind me that Your timing is perfect, even when mine isn’t. Help me trust the process. In Jesus Name, amen.

Give it to God and Go to Sleep

After many nights of terrible sleep with a million and one nightmares (a slight exaggeration), I was exhausted in church and absolutely desperate for a solution to my sleeping problems.

I confided in one of my friends. I told her I was struggling with bad dreams and restless nights, and she shared a few important Bible verses that she repeats before she goes to sleep:

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” - Psalm 4:8

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me.” - John 14:1

‭‭ “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” - Hebrews 4:16

‭‭ “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6-7

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” - Colossians 3:15

‭‭ “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” - Isaiah 26:3

I’ve made it a habit of mine to repeat them myself when I lay down in bed, and I’ve found the bad dreams are becoming less frequent and I’m finally getting some rest.

To put it quite simply, I’ve learned the importance of giving it to God and going to sleep. Whatever is troubling me, I trust Him to help me through. He hasn’t led me wrong before, and He never will. Whether my worries are the size of an acorn, or the size of a great oak tree, I trust my problems to Him and He will help me through them whilst I’m too weary to manage myself.
