Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
Many times I wake up in the early hours of the morning long before my alarm is supposed to beep. I can lay there for hours without being able to fall back to sleep because of my racing mind, thinking, and worrying. Sometimes it’s nervousness, doing something exciting, or a cold that wakes me and keeps me awake. I’ve realized that if I stop thinking about all that’s going through my mind and life and just pray, then I fall asleep quite easily. I pray for each family member, immediate and beyond. I pray for my church families. I pray for those with whom I work, adults and children. I pray for specific church ministries local, national, and abroad. I also pray for missionaries, naming each I know or have heard about through my church and Christian publications. And before I know it, I’ve fallen into a peaceful sleep.
