Whoever reads this, please pray for me. I'm so tired but I can't sleep.

I'm a Christian and I want to love God. I know he loves me. But honestly, sometimes I'm afraid of him, especially when I start getting unwanted thoughts in my head.

Hi hp,
If i cannot sleep after going to God's word, i try to sing or listen to His songs=). But if i cannot also, i just dwell on His words and wait on Him. Strive to replace the unwanted thoughts thru reading or listening to His words, and as the unwanted thoughts come, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Praying for u, sis.

I can understand. We may not be experiencing the same stresses, but i try to work out or walk a bit during the day. Also try some sleep helps or techniques, as deep breathing, have ur meal earlier so it doesnt interfere with sleep hopefully.

God bless, hp.

By stressful I mean traveling away and back in three days, and then preparing for a relative's impending death.

God sees our problems before we even get to them and already knows the solution. Knowing we are in His loving care, gives us a peace that passes all understanding. That is 'faith and trust' in His goodness and unconditional love for us.
As for sleep, when I do something physically challenging, like a long walk or dancing before the Lord, I sleep well. Also, as much as I love the Bible, if I start to read it in bed, I tend to fall asleep.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you during this time, he helped me so much a while back, He is real.
Btw, there are 365 mentions of 'fear not' in the Bible, one for every day, God bless you.

I’m praying that God will surround you with His infinite love, care and take away your unwanted thoughts. May He be your source of comfort, encouragement and wisdom as you trust in Him.

Hey, you got a minute to chat? I suggest we do a one-on-one rather than here in the forum.
