Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Are you weary and burdened? Weary.... feeling or showing tiredness, especially as a result of excessive exertion or lack of sleep
Burdened.... cause (someone) hardship or distress
What are you losing sleep over? Lately, for me.... I've been losing sleep over my kids. The last few years have been miserable for them.
Not too long ago.... I just could not handle any more. After tossing and turning night after night after night after night after night after night .... I finally had enough.... sat up in the bed and said "get the away from me Satan.... Lord, please I need some sleep!"
That very day my youngest daughter called, she needed to make a humungous change in her life, and she needed my help. So, I flew back east and did what I had to do to help her out.... and she got moved to her new place.... and now.... she's doing good. That happy giggle I hadn't heard for years... it's back. All my kids are doing ok now.
Just a couple months later.... I am sleeping through the night again.
Sure... I am still having dreams.... but instead of worrisome dreams.... I'm crafting dolls in my dreams instead of worrying about my kids all night long.
I feel like I told on Satan and God made Satan go away. Trust in God to take away your burdens. Honest.... I know... I've had it happen to me. This was not the first time either... I doubt it's the last time. I'm so happy our Father and His Son are there to help when the burden gets so heavy.
Talk to Jesus.... He will bring you peace.
What are you losing sleep over?
