Rest in Peace!

Listen to this blog.


Always be glad because of the Lord! I will say it again: Be glad. Always be gentle with others. The Lord will soon be here. Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.

Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

Philippians 4:4-7

Did you ever wake up in the middle of the night and just lie there worrying about something going on in your life or the life of someone you love? Like an endless loop recorder you play it over and over in your mind hoping that one more playback will make more sense than the one before. You try to turn it off, but you can't. Your body wants more sleep, but your mind won't let go. In a real sense, you are being tormented by worry.

The way to end the playback and put it to rest as well as yourself is by prayer. When you pray you are not only sharing your feelings with someone else and getting it off of your chest, but you are also turning the issue over to the only one who can handle any problem and supply every need.

The peace that comes through giving your burdens to Jesus is beyond anyone's understanding and it will control the way you think and feel, and I would add sleep!

Everyone I know has at least one thing in their life that could easily keep them up at night worrying. But if you belong to Jesus, God will give you peace and sleep!  Good Night - See you in the morning!
