Day 9 – Peaceful sleep

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.” Psalm 4:8 NLT
Friend, I wrote this devotional in obedience to share my experiences of God’s peace and the reality of it – experience it, knowing it. Little did I know at the time when I wrote the first words, that this would be a process of grieving for me. It’s only been of late that I lie awake at night missing my mom whilst thinking of all the events, difficulties, and God’s peace during this season of life and how faithful He is. I would wake up from nightmarish dreams, or just not fall asleep because my brain is thinking, thinking, thinking…
I prayed, asking God to please help me through this so I could grieve in His peace – like a little girl seeking comfort while lying on her Father’s lap. And that is when I found this verse. In His peace, I could fall asleep. In His peace, I wasn’t alone. And in His peace, He keeps me safe. Friend, God’s peace is never-ending and an inexhaustible source. Through the promise of peace in His Word, we will always have an unshakable foundation to stand on.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for the courage to have shared this journey of coming to know peace. Thank You for Your faithfulness through this season and continued faithfulness for that I still need to face. May this journey help and bless someone and may they know peace as real as You have shared with me. Amen.
