Psalm 4:8 I will lie down in peace, and sleep: for You, Lord, only make me dwell in safety.
Proverbs 3:24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: Your sleep shall be sweet.
Today, if you’ve been struggling with getting good sleep because you’ve been carrying the cares of the world, release them to God. Just say, “Father, I trust You. I trust that You are working things out for my good. I trust that You are ordering my steps. Thank You for Your good and precious promises, and thank You for the gift of sweet sleep! I receive it in Jesus’ name!”
I’ve been struggling with this. It’s my second week of the Winter Semester. I’m a university student. Academics stress and worry me a lot and affect my sleep. I hope this helps someone who is also struggling with sleep for whatever reason(s). May God help us all rest well! Amen
Stress is the worst thing ever! You can eat healthy, exercise, take vitamins but if you live in a stressful life you will age and get sick for sure. Have you ever looked at side-by-side photos of a person before and after a particularly trying time in his or her life, for instance, before and a few years after starting a highly demanding job? The person likely appears much older in the later photo. The stress of the job is thought to contribute to the prematurely aged appearance. You might feel stress from work or other aspects of your daily life, too. Stress is everywhere. Even when you feel relaxed, your body is still experiencing considerable stress—biological stress. And, it is this type of stress that is widely studied by gerontologists for its effects on aging and longevity.
How to avid stress?
1) Choose simple life over material things like money, expensive home, cars, cloths, etc…
