I’m so very sorry. I think back to when my babies were babies and I didn’t do well emotionally with the lack of sleep. I look now and the situation I am in, 30-40 years later and the continued insomnia and again the emotional distress that comes from that is overwhelming. I don’t even know what to think anymore. 🕯🕊❤️‍🩹

Praying for you today! I am finding that even on the days I get enough physical rest, my mind has a hard time resting. It is always racing with my to do list and the worries of the day/week to come. I still have a ways to go in finding true rest these days 😅 thanks for writing on this topic! So encouraging ❤️

That is so hard. I completely agree—a restless mind and heart are just as exhausting as a body that has not be able to rest, just in different ways. And of course those things often impact our quality of sleep when we are able to get them as well. I'm so glad it's been encouraging. Praying for you today as well—may the Lord remind you that he has gone before you into today and this week, and that he will give you what you need just when you need it.

Thank you Sandy. I would love to cheer you on! I'd love to hear a little bit more if you are comfortable sharing—what are some of the things you struggle with when it comes to sleep habits? Praying for REST for you today even amidst the sleeplessness.
