- Trouble sleeping? Scripture teaches us that God wants us to be able to sleep. Sleep can actually be a spiritual discipline. Listen as Pastor Tom shares ways to combine faith with sleep. Episode Notes - Psalm 121:4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. - Quote: “Sleep is an act of surrender. It is a declaration of trust. It is admitting that we are not God (who never sleeps), and that is good news.” James Bryan Smith Psalm 3:5: “I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me” Psalm 16:7: “I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.” Make this a daily prayer. Physically write down the things that you are worried about and cross them off. Mentally picture yourself giving the concerns to Jesus. Bow down on your knees- maybe even put your face to the ground and surrender it all to God .
