He Stays Awake So You Don't

🕊 Let Providence read it to you

Let the dishes wait in the sink and the phone go dark on the nightstand. Whatever didn't get crossed off today can stay uncrossed until morning. Your job now is only to close your eyes.

"He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep."
— Psalm 121:3-4 (KJV)
Tonight's prayer
Father, my body is tired and my mind is finally slowing down. Thank You that I don't have to keep watch over my own life tonight — You already are. My foot won't slip, because Your grip doesn't loosen, not even for a moment. While I sleep, You'll be awake, steady, unhurried, watching over this house and everyone in it. I don't have to earn that care or stay alert to keep it. It's simply Yours to give. Thank You for a love that never needs a break. I rest easy in that tonight.
Blessing for your rest
Sleep well, friend — the One who guards you never dozes off, so you're free to. Peace over your pillow, and peace over everyone under your roof tonight.

Have Providence read you to sleep
