Psalm 4:8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Many times, we have things on our hearts and on our minds that we need to resolve. The Bible tells us to cast our cares to God. There is a level of rest that only God can give.
There are many things that we are not equipped for, but remember God is bigger than anything in this world. There are obstacles and challenges in which we have no idea how to even begin to face. But remember, God has wisdom beyond us.
There is a peaceful sleep that can come to each of us but we also have to trust and believe that only God can provide that safe atmosphere. We live in a world full of things that can threaten us everyday but we as the children of God can lie down in peace and sleep.
Kindly meditate on the following scriptures as you choose to depend on God alone for rest and freedom from all anxiety and worry:
1 Peter 5:7: casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (NKJV)
Matthew 11:28-30: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”(NKJV)
PRAYER: Lord, help me to give you all of my cares. Lord, I want to have peace always, so help me to trust and believe that you alone can make me dwell in safety. In Jesus name. Amen.
