I am sure you can identify with me that there have been times when, for unexplained reasons, sleep just seems to evade you. It can be worsened when a million and one thoughts hound you, to almost torment...unpaid rent/mortgage, utility bills, job stress, health issues, unaccomplished goals, friends who have hurt you and the list could go on and on.
This morning as I lay awake after a good night's rest, I began humming a few praise songs. I then began to just give thanks to God for His unconditional love, His provisions, His healing, His blessings, His guidance and protection, His empowering and the list went on and on.
What am I saying? Those moments when you lie awake, troubled or at peace, happy or sad, frustrated or relaxed, whatever emotional or mental state you find yourself in let your spirit rise in prayer and worship. Begin to count your blessings and as that song says:
Are you ever burdened with a load of care,
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
Those 'awake' moments can become precious...you can make it so!
