"In peace I lie down and I fall
asleep, for, Lord, you alone make me rest secure."
Psalms 4: 8
Insomnia is an evil that strikes many people.
At certain times, it seems to arise with all force.
This verse from Psalm 4 assures us that when
we lie down, we soon fall asleep. But why do so many Christians also suffer
from this disorder? Because they're letting something steal their peace.
The enemy will do anything to disturb our
lives by throwing thoughts that lead to anxiety and worry. He will try to make
us not feel safe and relaxed enough to rest. If he can interfere in what renews
our strengths, it will be more difficult to enjoy tranquility and encourage
ourselves to praise God and pray, for example.
We must daily practice our trust in God. Is
it difficult to detach from the acceleration of this world? Yes. Is it
difficult not to focus on what is not resolved in our lives and causes concern?
Yes. Is it difficult to ignore the difficulties that have arisen throughout our
day? Yes. But we can lie down and fall asleep quickly and have this moment of
renewal, for the Bible tells us that we can rest in the arms of love of our
God.
Do not surrender to the pressure that the
enemy makes during the day nor allow it to disturb you at the time of your rest
at night. Do not accept being held hostage by any situation that robs you of
your peace. Jesus is our peace! God is our tranquility.
Learn to trust in Him and reject any
harrowing thoughts that interfere with your well-being. At all times, God wants
to take care of us! He has control of everything! Let Him do it for you and
rest in the name of Jesus!
Prayer: Lord, help me to trust and to rest my
heart at all times, whether during my day or in my sleep at night. I declare
that I will not surrender to external pressures, for I believe in your care for
me; I believe in your power and your sovereignty. I deliver every distressing
situation of my life on your altar and I will rest in your love. In the name of
Jesus, amen!
