This is an update of an old Bedtime Bible Quotes<\/strong> post. It’s a post I need to revisit occasionally when I’m struggling with sleep or someone I know is. These Bible quotes about sleep<\/a> are still as relevant now as when this was first written.<\/p>\n Chris–who never travels for work and is rarely away from home just returned from being gone for sixteen weeks<\/a> for work. \u00a0Sixteen weeks with a fly in late Friday night and fly out early Sunday afternoon every third week. Sixteen weeks of me not sleeping because I don’t sleep well when he’s out of town–which is rare, thanks be to God. \u00a0During these sixteen weeks, I have relied on a couple of inspiring Bible quotes<\/a> each night as I have crawled into bed–way too late.<\/em> \u00a0I know I’m not the only one that needs some bedtime Bible quotes<\/strong>, so here is a couple I fell asleep or at least laid in bed repeating to myself.<\/p>\n First though let me say, I have a new appreciation for military families–Thank you! \u00a0And single parents–God bless you. \u00a0Remember when the kids and I were so very sick with what we now believe to have been that Enterovirus<\/a>, Chris was gone for those nine weeks. He was also gone for the four-foot long snake crawling up and around the door frame of the outside of the house. And the baby snake, possibly a copperhead, that was on the woodpile, and clogged toilets and broken shower heads and five children needing to be at five different soccer practices and…and… \u00a0And I wear a bracelet that states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”<\/em> \u00a0And I could. \u00a0I made it–we made it all these weeks…BIG shout out to all my children but especially my three older girls. \u00a0You girls are amazing and I am so proud to be your momma.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n So back to me and my fear and anxiety about being able to sleep or not being able to sleep when Chris is not here. \u00a0First, I’ve mentioned how important it is to be careful about what we take into our minds (What Does the Bible Have to Say About Our Thoughts)<\/a>. \u00a0Once it’s in there, it’s in there. \u00a0And it will resurface at the most inopportune times–like late night. \u00a0All those scary movies, crime shows, and stories I read or watched as a kid and young adult pop into my head at night, trying to force themselves to be thought about. \u00a0It takes concerted effort to think on the good, true and beautiful.<\/a><\/p>\n Once I begin the process of forcing these scary and negative thoughts out of my mind, I have to–have to<\/strong>–replace them with what I want to think about. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>One way to do this is to meditate on the Word of God. \u00a0Hebrews 4:12 states “the Word of God is living and active”<\/em>…those are the thoughts I want to and need to think of, especially at night. \u00a0 I actually started sleeping with a small Bible under my pillow to remind me of the life-giving power of the Word of God.<\/p>\nBedtime Bible Quotes<\/h2>\n
