Can't Sleep

Have you ever wondered why you can't sleep?

Do you ever just sit and tilt your head to one side and think...I'm so stinking tired, but yet I can't sleep...why?

What is keeping me up? What has me troubled? Why will my brain not shut down so I can drift off into that land of slumber like a normal person...that stuff of babies?

It's after 2:00 in the morning and I sit at my computer, awaiting my dogs to come back inside so I can shut the back door. Naturally, I go and check my Facebook. Not much going on there speak of. Normal chatter. So I thought...I'll write a blog. I mean, why not? Nobody will read it anyway, so I might as well just sit here and type away about my thoughts on my lack of sleep. :) But, there isn't much else you can say, other than...I CAN'T SLEEP!

So with that said, I guess I will just close this post with a prayer.

Dear Lord,
Please allow my brain to shut off! Please allow me to be able to go back to my bed, close my eyes and drift off into a peaceful and wonderful sleep. Help me to wake rested and ready to meet the new day with a renewed spirit. I await whatever you have for me next.
I love you Jesus.....Amen

  1. Hormones...I blame hormones! Well, the men always seem to blame hormones, so why can't I? LOL! Just kidding. As a fellow sleep deprived sister, I must say that one of my most favorite verses in the Bible comes from the Book of Psalm. Psalm 3:5 says, "I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me." This was when King David was fleeing for his life. He was being hunted, yet he knew the Power of His LORD! If you get a chance, read the whole chapter in the message version. I think you'll like it! Tonight, I echo your prayer and say, Amen.

  2. Love the verse!!
    I love how God just puts it out there for us and we just need to silence our hearts and minds long enough to find it. :) Thanks for the comment, lkh
