“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8

A few weeks ago, I was having a really hard time sleeping. I never have that problem. I can sleep through tornado sirens (and in Oklahoma, that is not a good thing). That night I just couldn’t stop my mind. One of my mentors once told me that if you can’t get back to sleep after 30 minutes, you should get up and pray or get in God’s word so He can reveal Himself to you in the quiet of the night. So after I couldn’t sleep for a couple of hours (I really wanted to sleep!), I opened my Bible app and this verse appeared.

I’ve since memorized this verse to remind me that whether I am restless because my husband is out of town or if I can’t quiet my mind, He alone will give me peace and rest.
