"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH

I have not been sleeping well for the past couple of weeks. Sometimes I just cannot let go of things on my mind so readily.

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!

  1. 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.

    Love you.

  5. 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.

    Our 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

  12. I 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!

  13. "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."
    —2 Corinthians 12:9-10


    Sweet JBR~

    I pray that sleep will come easy for you tonight!

    Blessings~

  17. Working 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!
