The other night, I woke up at 230 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. I laid in bed praying, I spoke to God but I could not hear His voice speaking to me. There was just silence.
I couldn’t turn the conversations off in my head. My thoughts became a prison of torture, and my troublesome problems became an idol in my mind. I couldn’t capture any peace or a calm spirit. Becoming aware of this bondage was a huge step for me toward breaking free from it. I wrestled with my doubts and anxieties and was eventually able to surrender my thoughts to the Lord. I finally dozed off and when I woke I was totally rested and peaceful.
I realized God remained quiet during the night , so He could usher me into a calm atmosphere of sweet sleep. He showed me that even though I have health issues, He, is still in control, not me. I didn’t cause my problem. I have no control over my problems and I can’t change the problem.
God is aware of what is happening to me and He cares. He knows my future and all that will unfold from this point on. What He desires from me is to rest and trust in His perfect plan and His perfect care. I know He wants what’s best and His love for me is overwhelming.
So, I stopped trying to figure out how everything was going to work out and placed my thoughts and fears in His capable hands.
