I can’t sleep because my overthinking has set in again. So many questions running through my head. Can’t even begin to process them all. My eyes want to close but my mind keeps writing these restless thoughts. So awake I shall be, writing until my fingers are exhausted and bruised. These late nights and early mornings are draining me mentally. God why am I such an over-thinker? It seems to be more of an unnecessary burden for me to have. What greatness could possibly come from this disturbance? I just want a night of mental peace and I long for those mornings where my mind is running stress free. I pray for that state of serenity. Lord take me under your wings and give me the strength I need to fight whatever it is that is keeping me from a peaceful sleep. Even if that disturbance is me!

Sleeping These Demons Away
Tossing and turning in this restless slumber. Another nightmare. I can’t remember the last time I had a decent amount of sleep. The devil is busy again tonight. Though my eyes lie shut, there is this continuous struggle to fight the pull of the enemy. I refuse to let him win. I will not let him bring yet another child of God into his house of evil doing and torture. As I toss the sheets off of me, I kneel at the edge of my bed. With my hands together, palm to palm, I pray to you Lord to give me the strength to fight these demons. My eyes are heavy with exhaustion. My dreams are filled with lust, anger, jealousy, and greed. The feeling of darkness would come over me and once again I awake from my sleep; unsettled and afraid. You have brought me out of the storm of doubt, the ocean of confusion, and the shambles of hopelessness. You have done it before and my faith knows you can do it again. Now I come to you once more to help bring me to the peaceful oasis of my slumber. Your power will always be greater than the enemy’s, and your grace redefines why You are the one I seek for healing. These restless nights cannot continue.
As I lay back in bed, I take one last deep breath of reassurance. This is the night that I will no longer allow these demons to keep my mind wandering throughout the night. Tonight is the night I will be sleeping these demons away.
