A Prayer for When You Can't Sleep

Find yourself tossing and turning lately? Pop your earbuds in and rest in His presence.

• Share with the Lord everything that is swirling in your mind.
• Delight in God’s presence.
• Pray for someone that the Lord brings to mind.
• Trust that the Lord can redeem bad sleep.

Scripture:

• Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
• Psalm 23:2-3a (NIV) - He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
• Psalm 4:8 - In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
