I'm fully tired, but finding it really hard to sleep. What's up with that? As I have blogged previously, when I don't get any sleep, I really start remembering what it is like to really depend on God for strength.
I was thinking about my sleeping problem today and I realised that sleep has become less important to me since I have been getting less of it. And I thank God that this has been the case because I really feel that God has taught me to find His strength sufficient. For example, this morning I could barely open my eyes in the shower and I just prayed for God to give me strength, and as I was walking to my last appointment for the day, I realised that God had truly answered my prayer and His strength had seen me through the day.
It is difficult to function without sleep, but I think in the past, I put way too much importance on sleeping to the point where not being able to sleep was making me stay awake at night. It's just good to let it go and remind myself that lying in bed and closing my eyes will help my body recover from the day, and sleep is just a bonus. If you have ever had problems sleeping, I hope that you too will start to learn this lesson. I just pray that I will remember how good it feels to not be a slave to sleep, and that I will continue depending on God more and more for my daily needs.
