Psalms to Help You Sleep

Night after night the darkness would creep inside my heart and I would lie awake crying - for no reason. I begged God for relief or even to give me a reason. Nothing changed and so I stopped praying for a time.  Like the author of Psalm 39, I thought maybe if I just stay silent things would be fine. I never ever talked about my depression with friends or family (other than my husband). I thought if I just didn’t think about it or mention it, it wouldn't be real. But anxiety and depression can’t be ignored. You can’t push the feelings down forever. Eventually I began to pray again about my depression. Listen to this week's episode to discover how a view of eternity actually helps give us hope at night. Read Psalm 39 here.* If you struggle to fall asleep at night or go through your day fighting anxiety and depression pull up a chair. Psalms is a book that gives us permission to feel but also to hear God's voice.
