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
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.
ReplyDeleteLove the verse!!
ReplyDeleteI 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
