Dear Lord, I am finding it so difficult to sleep. My mind will not be quieted and I seem to spend the whole night thinking and tossing and turning as the worries of life are churning in my heart.
I come to You as my heavenly Shepherd, because I am one of Your sheep, one of Your little lambs. I come to you today because You have promised to make me lie down in green pastures and to lead me beside still waters. You have promised to restore my soul. Lord, as my good Shepherd I pray that You will guide me into calmer pastures. I really need those green pastures right now. Please help me lie down in peace and to rest in Your arms of love, for You alone, O Lord, will help me to sleep in safety,
Amen.
