Sleep is an important part of our well-being, but it’s not always easy to find rest at night.
For many adults, the worries and stresses of life can weigh heavy on the mind, making peaceful sleep seem impossible. Whether it’s work pressures, family concerns, or anxieties about the future, these thoughts can steal the rest that we need to function well and stay healthy.
God wants to give us peace, even in the midst of life’s challenges. Through prayer, we can bring our concerns to Him and trust that He will calm our hearts and minds, allowing us to experience the restful sleep He desires for us.
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” (Psalm 4:8)
If you are struggling with sleepless nights, take a moment to lift your worries to God. His peace is available to you, and through prayer, you can find the rest your body and spirit need.
We invite you to share your prayer requests below, so we can lift them up together as a community.
