5 Prayers To Help You Sleep

 

I don't know about you, but I can honestly say that I have had a lot of times that I have trouble sleeping. There are the times that are filled with excitement, like Christmas Eve. Where I have gone to bed, but the visions of sugar plums are filling my thoughts so much that I just can't sleep. 

Take Your Cares To The Lord 

Then there is the time of being wide awake because of starting labor. I was scared and excited all at the same time.

I can even remember, after T telling me (the first time) that he wanted out of our marriage, I could not sleep. I got up and went to the living room and prayed.

I shared several verses with you, already, about sleep, rest and being safe while you rest. Today, I am sharing some prayers using those verses. Below that, you will find one big prayer that is using all of the verses together.
