Sleep

thankful thinking day 23

Sleep. Precious sleep. Eight hours straight with no interruptions or wide-awake tossing and turning. I've blogged before about how thankful I am for sleep. It's something I used to take for granted. It's something I now am grateful for when it comes.

Funny how our perspectives change as our circumstances change. I would sincerely like to be able to say that I am not buffeted by circumstances because God is my pilot, but I really do get thrown out of whack when sleep refuses to come.

Lord, I am thankful that Your hand made me. I know that Your plan is divine and perfect and holy. And I know that Your ways are not my ways so I do not always understand the "why" of things. I do know that if I keep my eyes on You, I will not be tossed around with uncertainty, but in my humanness I sometimes fail to keep that perspective. Thank You for lovingly listening to my plight. It makes me feel better. (P.S. thanks for that great night's sleep!)

"I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is my right hand, I will not be shaken." (Psalm 16:8)
