So.....I've been having horrible trouble sleeping lately. My mind is on a billion and 3 random thoughts *just before falling asleep*, pushing aside the thought of sleeping peacefully, and dumping any full intentions of dreaming sweetly down the drain. And it's not thoughts of goodness, it's sad, pessimistic worried thoughts- and it's just a bad idea. I literally was crying myself to sleep. Why would I pollute my mind *just before falling asleep* with such negativity? I want my mind to be on good things- your mind does most of it's daily work while you're sleeping and who knows what it's doing. Workin' its magic. Anyways...So, I did what made sense: I prayed. Just as I did when I was a kid, exactly how I was taught: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Guard me Jesus through the night and wake me with the morning light. Amen. It helped. I slept good.
So I made a pact with myself. I will not let the end of my day be the saddest part of my day. RJ made a good point at church today, he said "let us go to sleep being closer to the Lord than when we woke up"....It's so true! I am NOT going to let myself sleep like this anymore. I will think good thoughts, read good things, listen to good things and most of all PRAY before I sleep. I bet we'll see a difference. I'll keep you updated :)
Ok, time for a nap!
