When I do not sleep well, the lack of sleep can have an adverse effect on me. I am more tired than normal. More grouchy. Just plain run down and the effect can plague other parts of my body with symptoms.
At these times is when I am more conscience of who I am. A frail human being that only God can minister to deeply. Bring me up, perk me up, refresh me, renew me. Get me to face another day. Thank You Lord!
I pray the Lord gives you strength and that He gives me strength as well. We all love and support each other in our struggles. I am having mine too.
ReplyDeleteLove you.

JBR, thank you for your words of love :-) Lots of strength to you dear one, the sleep will come again. In the meantime keep your faith ... lots of love, hugs!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the sleep problems. I'm sorry. I hope you are able to get some rest soon.

I know what you mean about not getting to sleep. Say to yourself before you go to sleep that you will have a good night's sleep, and think peaceful thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOur subconscious has so much power over us as we sleep, so we might as well use it to our advantage. I usually say positive affirmations like I am loved, I am happy, I am healthy, I am worry free.
I keep you in my prayers as always.
Big hugs and lots of love,
Pam
It is hard to "turn off" our thoughts when we are trying to sleep...hope some restful nights are in your future!
ReplyDeleteI struggle too..I will both lie down in peace, and sleep: For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety..Psalm 4:8
ReplyDeletei hope you have strength for today and rest tonight...peace be upon you...
ReplyDeleteOh Dear do I hear you. I can't tell you how much more run down a body can feel when it's fighting all day to be well. I do pray your able to find some restorative sleep soon. Hugs. Tammy
ReplyDeleteI know those nights too JBR, probably most of us do, and some more than others. Prayin for peace of mind and heart for you tonight... for good rest, quiet and peaceful rest.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I am praying that you have ample, welcoming, blissful, peaceful sleep with sweet dreams, full of love, life, God & His presence. :)
ReplyDeleteI hear you, JBR! I hate it when I don't sleep well and feel like I'm walking around in a fog all day. It makes me grumpy, too! Like you, it also makes me see how dependant on the Lord I am, which is a good thing. Realizing the positive aspects of it doesn't make me less grouchy though!
ReplyDelete"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Sweet JBR~
I pray that sleep will come easy for you tonight!

JBR I've had plenty of sleepless nights. SAtan loves to steal ones sleep with worry. Turn your thoughts over to God. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteWorking nights now for so long, it's hard for me to adjust with the regular sleeping cycle when I'm at home. It is hard when your body/mind cannot rest completely. But praying for His strength to be yours and may He grant you long, restful sleep! Take care JBR!
