8 Ways to Get GOOD Sleep!


Can I brag about God?
Thanks to Him, my heavenly Father, I don’t have sleepless nights. He’s been so good to me in this area. Without a formula I’m going to share what I believe will help you. Get your favorite night cap, hopefully it’s water or tea and let’s get some sleep!
  1. Read! Yes, read! Read your Bible. Read 1 verse, 1 passage, 1 chapter or a book. Ask God to make each word plain to you. Make sure that you understand what you’ve read. This practice will put you in position to begin your nighttime routine. His Word will comfort you to sleep and provide you with instructions for the next day. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8 KJV. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105 KJV
  2. Get Rid of the Problems of the Day! There’s nothing worse than trying to carry all of the troubles of the day with you. Talk to God about your day. The great thing is you don’t have to hide, you can talk as long as you’d like, you don’t have to be ashamed, you can share all of your frustrations. After all, He’s God! Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7 KJV
  3. Tell the truth! Confess what you’ve done throughout the day that you know you should not have. Ask for forgiveness of secret sins. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. Psalms 32:3‭, ‬5 KJV
  4. Give It Up! Let go and let God. Take deep breaths now that you’ve confessed and asked for forgiveness. Let everything go! Your surroundings should start to look different now. You’re entering your rest place. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Hebrews 4:9‭-‬10 KJV
  5. Drink up! Get your water or your favorite herbal tea to settle your body. Are your eyelids heavy?
  6. Lights out! Turn everything off. I know you like falling asleep to the sound of the news, but turn off those electrical devices, get them away from you. Are you yawning? He sitteth alone and keepeth silence,… Lamentations 3:28a KJV
  7. Get off of your feet! Lay down and begin relaxing a 1/2 hour before you want to be asleep. If this is difficult try 10 – 15 minutes. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord , only makest me dwell in safety. Psalms 4:8 KJV
  8. Say thanks! Begin thanking God for the day while you’re laying down. Thank Him for providing for you and protecting you and your loved ones. Thank God that you are alive and thank Him for the rest that you are about to have. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
Have a Great Nights sleep!
Don’t forget to let us know how it went!

Strengthen Me!

Psalm 119:28 28  My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. There will be days when we feel beat up.  There are days when the weight of the world is on our shoulders. It is in those hard times that we must tell God our truth.  We must confess how we really feel. Lord, I'm hurt.  Lord, I'm tired.  Lord, I don't think I can handle this anymore. When we pour out our heart to God, we are giving Him access to comfort and strengthen us.  His Word says, that He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us.  His Word says, He uplifts us with His right hand.  His Word says, I have loved you with an everlasting love.  His Word says, cast all of your cares on Me. I pray that as you go through this weekend that the Word of God strengthens you for whatever and everything that you are facing.

Be Free From Denial!

Have you ever experienced that feeling when you finally get something off of your chest?  You feel free, it's as a though a weight has been lifted up and off of you.  The same feeling can be experienced when we admit how we really feel.  Maybe you've been sad, angry, frustrated, depressed or otherwise. God wants us to come to Him, tell Him how we feel and give these feelings to Him.  The Bible instructs us to cast our cares onto Him.  We are supposed to throw these issues off of ourselves and allow God to care for us. Don't live in denial.  Stop walking around pretending that everything is all right!  Shake yourself free from pain and anguish!  Live and Be Free from DENIAL! via  Daily Prompt: Denial

Tip of the Day!

PRAY! "In Thessalonians 5:17, we are reminded to "Pray without ceasing".  As you are walking to a coworker's office, holding on the phone, waiting for a meeting to start, or doing a simple task, lift you company and coworkers up to the LORD." Daily Wisdom for the Workplace by Pamela McQuade. Whether you are at work, at home, at school, church, a relatives house, or wherever, we must remember to pray.  Depression creeps in when we lose our line of communication with God.  It is vital to keep that relationship in its proper place, 1st and foremost.  It is very important that we talk with God and listen to Him too.  God bless you.
