Stress-Free Sleep

I breathe easily and rest easily, for I know that God intends it all for good.

ife has struggles. They help us grow. They stretch us to find new abilities and strengths. We need some stress to stay healthy. Bones that are properly worked and stressed grow stronger. But too much stress wears us down. A boulder in a stream is smoothed over time, but in the river at flood is carried away. Constant worry will steal our sleep and sicken us.

Let us not add to our life’s stresses through worry. We can know that God intends us to grow and be healthy. Let us follow God’s guidance where we find it and work to grow in spirit. But when it comes time for sleep, put your cares aside. Know that God is guiding you.

Proverbs 3:24, “When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yea, you shall lie down and your sleep shall be sweet.”
