When You Can't Turn Your Mind Off
You're in bed and your mind is still at work. The night Jesus slept through a storm, the wind and the sea obeyed Him, and He was in the boat with His friends the whole time. A one-minute word and prayer for the man who can't switch off.
Mark 4:37-38, Psalm 4:8
1:06

Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped. But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion.

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

You're in bed. Your mind is still at work.
One evening, the disciples were out on the sea with Jesus.
Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped. But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion.
Mark 4:37-38
They woke Him and asked if He cared. He calmed the sea with a word.
Even the wind and the sea obeyed Him, and He was in the boat with them the whole time.
David prayed a line you can borrow tonight.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
Tell God each thing that's keeping you up, out loud if you can. Then lie down and let Him keep watch.
Father, You know what's on my mind. I hand it to You. Let me lie down and sleep in peace. In Jesus' name, amen.
Watch and pray.
