Sleepy people do crazy things. They drive off the road, or they forget important things. So get enough sleep and take advantage of all the sleep you can get! When we get older we have lots of reasons to stay up later, and most of them are doing stuff that isn’t all fun, like catching up on laundry, doing dishes, or paying bills. Peaceful sleep is really hard for some people. They can’t shut their minds off, or their body clock is messed up and they will just lie in bed for hours, looking at the ceiling. Sometimes it is because they are worried or anxious about something. Sometimes there is no explanation. My prayer is that you get in the habit of making restful sleep an important part of your life. Make your bedroom a peaceful organized sanctuary. Make it a habit to read your Bible and pray before you snuggle down underneath the covers. Talk to God, cast your cares on Him (I Peter 5:7), let peace rule in your heart (Col 3:15) and learn to sleep in heavenly peace.
Busy, busy, busy, working everyday,
take a moment now and then to simply rest or play
The world will keep on spinning,
it’s time you start beginning
To quiet down, still mind and hands,
a restful life is God’s best plan
So take a breath, and breathe in deep,
have peaceful days, and restful sleep
With peace that passes all we know, God’s rest is yours – just let stress go.
