Since my husband died in August, I have had many nights where I just cannot sleep. When this happens I will go out to my study area and read my Bible until I get sleepy then return to bed. I turn my radio on every night when I go to bed with Christian music playing quietly. I will frequently wake up around 3:30 am I will go out to my study and do my daily devotional, Scripture reading, and daily Bible reading and then return to bed. It has been working very well with this routine, and I have been getting the much needed rest.

[@mariannehodson8700]

Goodness, i had such a night last night. Was overcome by such grief and sadness about an old situation, couldn't stop crying. Journaled about it, prayed, finally was able to sleep. I love how timely your messages are. I'll be reading Psalm 30 and do some writing on it this weekend. Thank you for your gentle teachings. 🙏💕✨

[@thehomespunwife]

So glad the Lord gave you rest after a tough time. ♥

Hi, Sherry! Thank you for sharing the beautiful poem you wrote. At night I sometimes have trouble sleeping too with all the thoughts going around in my head. I usually tell myself there is nothing I can do about them and say, “Lord Your will be done in this situation” and give them to Him and then praise Him for His great mercy and grace in my life.

[@thehomespunwife]

Amen. That's a wonderful way to combat insomnia, Robyn.

Gratitude is key, I agree. There are several unexpected antidotes that I have discovered in my life. Mostly recently as I have chosen to “unlearn” a few things. 1) Eating meat is healthy and the carnivorous lifestyle can reverse many illnesses and disease. 2) The sun is good for you and sunscreen can be harmful. 3) pharmaceuticals are the the only way to treat anxiety and depression-food, sunlight, most importantly, prayer can relieve troubling thoughts. 4)nA lady named Sherry on Facebook writes poetry that puts a sene of calm in me. I cherish your poetry, Sherry -and a most grateful heart that you post it for us to read and receive our calm each day. God bless you and your dear husband.

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Blessings to you, friend. I appreciate your support!♥️

[@kathybruce2925]

I just love your poem! I deal with insomnia often, and prayer is something I turn to regularly. I believe that I will add praise to my arsenal as well. When I have a hard time sleeping, another thing I often do is turn a sermon on or a video of someone reading the Bible to listen to as I try to drift off. I guess I figure if I can’t sleep, I’m going to be getting more of Jesus and the word in me! Thank you for sharing with us Sherry! 💜

[@Pam-x9q]

I lost my husband in 2022 from Covid. He had a massive brain bleed. They had to incubate him and I had to make the difficult decision to take him off of it. Night time is the hardest for me cause we use to have our best conversations at night. On nights I can’t sleep, I first pray and I tell Him I couldn’t have made it this far without Him. If I still can’t relax I keep a gratitude journal. I will get up and write in it for what I am grateful for. It helps me so much cause I am turning my sad thoughts around into positive thinking. I started keeping a gratitude journal in 2017 when I had breast cancer and I would recommend it to anyone. A oncologist nurse suggested it to me and it really does help. It helps me to also go back and read my gratitude journal later to see how God truly loves and helps me if I have faith and trust Him. You are so calming and I hope you know you help so many, including me. God has to be so proud of your sweet heart. One day, you will hear God say, “well done, my good and faithful servant”.

[@corncat123]

I love the poem you shared today, Sherry. I copied it from your FB post so I could include it in my Bible journaling notebook. Over thinking seems to haunt me the minute my head hits the pillow. I find that listening to playlists of Bible teachings, instrumentals of Christian music, or Christian audiobooks will often help to break the thought process & help me drift off to sleep. KZbin provides a great source of audio versions of Scripture, which can also be helpful. Before my husband passed away, I used ear buds attached to my mini iPad in order to not disturb his sleep... also helped to block out the distraction of his snoring... ha! 🥰

[@thehomespunwife]

[@tinapastrana5252]

Good morning Mrs. Sherry it's nice to see you. I struggle with sleep myself. I'm going through premenopause and sometimes I keep waking up because I'm either hot or cold and I toss and turn a lot. I take magnesium at night because it helps with the legs and it also helps the body to rest. I also have lower back pain and so I sleep with a pillow under my legs so that it keeps my spine from being in pain. But I know they say that's normal because of your hormones. But I just keep praying to the Lord to heal me and to align my body upright. I think a lot of the times the enemy likes to come in you know because he's of the dark and Jesus is the light and I think I heard where heaven there's no darkness and so I think sometimes when we go to sleep and because it's dark the enemy likes to roll around and keep putting all these negative things in our minds. But we really do need to put on some praise and worship or some kind of melody at night when we sleep just to keep the flow of the spirit in our rooms so that we can sleep in peace I pray that you have peace tonight when you sleep I wish I could just sleep straight through without waking up but with God's help is going to happen for me I pray for any woman right now who's going through what I'm going through to be delivered and set free because we all need a good night's sleep to refresh our bodies and our minds and our struggles.
