Sleeplessness: Thoughts + Anxieties that Rob your Sleep
Season 1: Episode 11
It’s time to dig in to the ‘why’ and ‘what now’ of those sleepless nights.
Episode Highlights
Reasons for Sleeplessness:
Patterns of Sin
Needs of the household
Weakness of the Body
Application for Daily Life:
How does God speak? Through His Word and His Spirit
Why? To convict and to exhort and affirm
Perhaps our sleeplessness is because God is speaking and we would benefit to respond as Samuel- “speak Lord, your servant is listening”
The anxieties come when we are out of sync of meeting with Him and abiding in His Spirit
Seek persistent prayer through the Holy Spirit. Understand the Holy Spirit, what He does and seeing in scripture the pattern and posture of prayer through the existence of sleeplessness and anxieties that rob our rest. See our posture when relief comes, and that we come back and affirm His faithfulness. Why? Because we proclaim the truth and faithfulness of God, put it on display and ultimately give it all back to Him for His use and His glory.
When the Lord wakes me in the middle of the night, what do I fill myself with?
