Psalms 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, LORD,
make me dwell in safety.
I cannot tell you how many times I have repeated this verse to convince myself everything would be OK. At night it seems every demon decides it is time to push my buttons and fill my head with thoughts. I literally have nights where I am afraid to go to bed. It is true. Ask my husband.
Now, I live with PTSD, anxiety and depression. Not everyone sees the world through my eyes. However, I am willing to bet you have spent some restless nights in your life. Wrestling with issues in the past or decisions about the future are common thoughts. They can hit us anytime of the day. Why is it they seem to strike the hardest at night?
I can tell you why. Satan wants to steal your peace. He is going to hit you when you are at your weakest. When that happens, you need to take back your night. Repeat after me, “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.”
Thank You for providing me peace and safety when I need it the most. ~amen
