Pray and Sing in Your Beds

Today, the Lord gave me a very beautiful, encouraging scripture, and this one is particularly for people who are suffering from insomnia (people who cannot sleep at night).

Job 35:10 (NKJV)

But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who gives songs in the night,

Psalm 149:5 (NKJV)

Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.

If you are struggling to sleep at the moment, I want to encourage you to really pray. Pray to the Lord quietly or aloud, whichever, and even sing songs if necessary. Obviously without waking up your loved ones.  The business of counting sheep jumping over the fence is a waste of time, but when we spend time in the presence of God, then He gives us His sleep. 

I always remember getting a picture from the Lord of someone climbing up onto the Lord’s lap. He’s sitting in a big armchair, and that person putting their head on His ample chest and then putting His big strong arms around that person and hugging them tightly and allowing them just to sleep in His peace.

I prayed for a lady once at a campaign we had, who just could not sleep. I said: “Tonight, you are going to sleep the best night of your life”. And then I never saw her for the rest of the week.  I didn’t know what had happened and then right at the end of the week, she came to one of our meetings again and she came up to see me afterwards. She said: “Angus, I really want to say to you that your prayers worked so beautifully, because every night when I got home from work, after I had a nice hot bath and I was going to come to the meeting, I sat down and fell fast asleep… but I managed to keep awake to get to the meeting tonight.” Sleeping like a baby.  He gives you His sleep.

Have a wonderful day.

Jesus bless you
