Becoming the Woman God Wants, day 11

Sleep in Peace

She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
Proverbs 31:12-13

Psalm 3

      ³But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
   ⁴I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
   ⁵I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
   ⁶I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.


I want to fully trust in God for all my needs.  Anxiety is not of God, I want him to take all my worries.  This chapter talks about good sleep habits.  It is good for us to have an evening routine.  We need to engage in positive conversation with out spouse in the evening.  We need to remove the negative because this causes unneeded worry.  We also need to establish an appointed bedtime.  I want to be healthy, rested, and emotionally sane so that God can use me.  I want peace in my home, I know that this will help my husband and my son.  I need to pave the way for God to do this in my home.

Affirmation:  I lie down and sleep in peace.
