So You Didn’t Sleep Well Last Night, Why Not?

One major reason for not sleeping well, or not at all is because of a crisis in your life. If you’re dealing with anything of the sort there’s hope, help, and higher reasoning available to out smart your trouble, and to live above evil (John 17:15). Our minds must be renewed based on the teachings and precepts of God’s word. Knowing the Lord on a personal level puts us in God’s good graces for right now help. It’s like when you haven’t spoken to a friend for a long time, and out of the blue you call them for help. Now they will probably be thinking, we haven’t spoken for months and now you need me. So when we go to God and it’s been a long time since we’ve even said anything to Him (but you’re His child), how does He react? Put it this way, when we’ve cultivated a strong relationship with the Lord, we are always in His good graces. He is a sovereign God, He can be swayed by our actions one way or another. Where do you think we get it from, we were made in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). In peace He will cause us to lie down and sleep. Knowing Him is knowing you are safe, and because of that secure mentality and settled consciousness, our sleep will be sweet (Proverbs 3:24). All that pertains to life and Godliness has been provided in the kingdom of God. Knowing what’s yours in Christ will come as you meditate in God’s word day and night (Joshua 1:8).
