WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU CANNOT SLEEP – Assorted Scriptures

Do you ever have trouble sleeping? Well, if you do, don't feel your the Lone Ranger, it seems the coronavirus pandemic has become a kronosomia pandemic, an epidemic of people having trouble sleeping, trouble following asleep, trouble staying the sleep. As we worry about jobs, about the economy, about our kids being gone from school, we worry about getting sick. Well, I know quite a bit about sleepless nights which takes me to the word of God where we see many of God's spiritual giants also having a hard time sleeping. Well there is Job in Job 7:4. The night is long, and I am full of tossing until dawn. There's David in Psalm 6, verse 6, I am weary with my mourning every night, I flood my bed with tears, and there's a Psalmist Esoph in Psalm 77 verse 2, in the night, my hand is stretched out without wearing. So please don't feel guilty if you're having trouble sleeping, you're in pretty good company, but it's what we do with those sleepless nights, that makes a difference. And I wanna suggest to you three things that help me, three things that I've learned from scripture about what to do in those nights I'm having trouble sleeping, so that I try not to fight it, but to go with it.
