Psalms 127:2
« It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. »
MEDITATION:
When we have worries, worries or fear, we often lose our sleep and spend sleepless nights.
And yet, as this psalm says, it is in vain that we spend sleepless nights or stress ourselves because of problems that we do not know how to solve, but that Heavenly Father would like to solve with love.
So we have no reason to worry and lose sleep, because our God is concerned with anything that could prevent us from sleeping well.
Just trust in his love.
In the heart of the prison, between two soldiers, tied with chains, Peter slept, and slept so deeply, resting on the promise and sufficiency of the divine resources, that the angel who came to deliver him had to strike his side to wake him up (Acts 12).
Jesus himself did not fail to sleep well, when winds and waves tossed the boat in the middle of the sea (Mark 4).
Instead of letting the worries dominate us, and losing our sleep, even at the risk of losing our health, we should rather throw all our worries, anxieties and worries once and for all into the hands of God.
God asks us to rest, sleep well and let him act while we sleep.
God does not sleep (see Psalm 121: 3-4).
While we sleep, God works on our situation.
If then we throw away all our worries and anxieties once and for all, we will see how he cares for us with affection and vigilance (see 1 Peter 5: 7).
We will see it solve our problems and solve our problems for good (see Romans 8:28).
Beloved, trust our father’s love for us. Let’s throw our worries on him and have no more sleepless nights!
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us always to trust in your love and your power.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
