Psalms 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. There are days that I don't sleep well and I'm learning to just meditate on the name of Jesus. Limited as it may seem, this is the name that is above all names and I have full confidence that as I cry out His name, all will be well. Then, without much struggle, in the midst of my meditation, my mind rests and I end up falling asleep.
If only I knew of this truth when I was a young boy. It was terrifying to be up late in my grandma's house when I was to be asleep and ready for school the next day. So stressed was I over my insomnia that I would rub medicated oil on the areas near my eyes to sting my eyes soI would have no choice but to close my eyes in pain and, often, cry myself to sleep.
Circumstances have changed since, but fears that grip me and keep me awake are still present. In my darkest nights and weakest moments, I trust in the name of Jesus because in Him alone, I place my trust. My heart and my mind may fail, but in His name, I find rest.
