Deep Slumber


"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Matthew 11:28


Restless nights plague me, I had to buy a new clock because I was tired of looking at the neon numbers of the old one. Lord, You are with me at all times. I stare up at the ceiling or out the window and whisper to You. Sometimes I cry. There is comfort during those hours, but I am ready for sleep.

Lord, give me time to separate from my many worries so that I can close my eyes and drift. My bones are tired. My thoughts are scattered. I long for the grogginess that follows a deep, deep slumber. Cover me with Your peace.
