It’s 3:11 AM now, and I cannot sleep. Maybe because of the milk tea, maybe because of the pork chop I ate, but regardless, I need to sleep. There is a verse in the Bible I was reminded of: “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.” 💜Psalm‬ ‭127‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I am encouraged that even though I didn’t sleep early last night and am still fully awake up until now, it doesn’t mean God doesn’t love me. I think it’s about how I received His word. Receiving is an act, and I learned that there’s a responsibility on my part. I am an overcomer. You are an overcomer.

Prayer:

God, help me learn to receive well from you. Please make sure that I receive your words well and help me practice them consistently. I want to honor and obey you. I want to love you with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. My heart longs for you. Thank you for another day. Thank you for loving me for who I am. Bless the person reading this and remind them too that sleep is for them. A good and restful sleep is for all of us. You are our helper, savior, and redeemer. In Jesus Name Amen. 🙌🏼
