I woke with a heavy burden this morning. God's people are not sleeping well. I was one of the non-sleepers. I would dread bedtime. The thought of having to lie down would bring fear. When I did doze off, I would wake in a panic. This went on for years, until God showed me per His Word; it is not supposed to be that way. Psalm 4:8 says; “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.” The Cross made it final. We are to rest in peace!! I did not know that. I assumed my tormented nights were normal. In fact, they had become my normal. But I want you to know it is not NORMAL. Peaceful sleep is! In my book Sweet Dreams: Healing at the feet of Jesus; God takes me through a journey that starts off revealing that what happens to us during our day goes with us when we go to sleep. As I began to allow Him to reveal my fears and exchanged them with His perfect love; my rest became peaceful. Now I know when I wake in anything other than that peace, something has crept in. He loves each one of us including when we sleep. I pray today that we will take back our slumber!! I love you all and want you to have everything Jesus died for on the Cross. Sweet Dreams are possible.
