INSTEAD OF COUNTING SHEEP

By: Linda Kirby/WGON

We all have those nights when sleep just refuses to come. We toss and turn and even get up and do things to pass the time. There is one thing that is better than all of that sheep counting, house cleaning, book reading, or video viewing to pass the time. It is communing with the Lord. When you read His Word, talk to Him, and just be close to Him, peace comes over you. Oftentimes, the reason one can’t sleep is due to some kind of inner turmoil. God will chase that away. God’s Word can bring you peace and comfort in the darkest of night. Don’t let your worries keep you awake! Proverbs 3:24 "When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet." Also, we read in Psalm 4:8 -- "In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." I’ve tried it and it works: I’ve fallen asleep in mid prayer! Best sleeping pill ever!
