prayer for sleep and anxiety

You may or may not like hearing this. But prayer for sleep and anxiety may not work on its own.

Not that God doesn’t hear your prayers. Or that God doesn’t want you to receive rest. There may just be some work that needs to be done on your part in order to receive the gift of a good night’s sleep. Even with best intentions, reciting a prayer for sleep and anxiety may not work for a number of reasons ranging from good hydration, to what you had for dinner, that new medication you started, or even a vitamin taken at the wrong time. That abbreviated list doesn’t even consider all of the emotional, relational, spiritual, and mental things that impede rest.

God is of course far more powerful than all these things and quite capable of granting your request no matter how your day went!

But here’s the thing. If rest was so easy and came naturally, God would not have needed to set the example of Sabbath from the beginning of time. God included rest in your design so it shouldn’t necessitate lengthy prayers to achieve. It should easily, and sweetly, fall into place.

Once thoughts and emotions move toward more holistic processing and healing your trust in God will grow even greater than it is now and your prayer for sleep and anxiety can bring deeper peace.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Proverbs 3:24 NIV

Dysfunctional beliefs about sleep

Dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and trapped emotions can also play a big part. This troublesome duo affects how safe, ready, willing, able, and deserving you feel about any number of things. Many people seem able to silence tough emotions during the day. But at night, without as many distractions, these thoughts and emotions gain new energy and demand to be heard. This is where Christian sleep meditation can support what your mind is trying to do but lend to a more peaceful process.

Dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and trapped emotions can also play a big part. This troublesome duo affects how safe, ready, willing, able, and deserving you feel about any number of things. Many people seem able to silence tough emotions during the day. But at night, without as many distractions, these thoughts and emotions gain new energy and demand to be heard.

This inner battle doesn’t mean you aren’t praying correctly or that you aren’t “Christian enough” to receive rest. And they don’t come as a surprise to the God who created you.

Instead, recognizing dysfunctional beliefs about sleep and releasing trapped emotions are really helpful tools for healing more than just your ability to rest.

Christian sleep meditation

Christian meditation is a foundation part of a Holistic Faith Lifestyle because it supports every aspect of holistic wellbeing; the mind, body, spirit, emotions, and relationships. Undoubtedly, sleep plays a big part in each of these aspects, too! When we invite God or weave our faith relationship into each and every area of our life, it becomes a Holistic Faith Lifestyle.

This Christian meditation for sleep is no different in its approach. Many times when we are trying to fall asleep our brain switches into overdrive. As it presents the day’s events in rapid-fire or loops a specific conversation or situation over and over, the mind is trying to sort the positive and negative and make sure we don’t repeat the negative again the next day. Nice in theory, but really bad timing!

Christian Meditation YouTube

This 20-minute Christian sleep meditation takes charge of this sorting process before it starts off on the wrong foot and feels too demanding. It allows for a peaceful revisiting of your day, helps you pack it away for the night, and includes time for handing it and all of your anxiety over to God. It ends with peaceful, sleep music so you can drift off unhindered by a busy brain.

OTHER CHRISTIAN SLEEP RESOURCES

In addition to Christian sleep meditation on the nights you’re struggling to rest, a daily Christian meditation practice trains the brain to find rest and relaxation despite distractions. It works especially well when coupled with other Christian sleep resources and spiritual disciplines. Check out the sleep arsenal!

My Top 5 bible verses about sleep and rest

There’s no doubt, reading God’s word before bed can help soothe a busy mind and heart. Absorbing the truth found in these Bible verses about sleep and rest is great in conjunction with Christian sleep meditation. Reading before you meditate can signal your mind that you are ready to change the pace and prepare to rest. Of course, reading and meditating on the meanings of scripture during the day, also sets the course for better sleep. This is because good nights start with good days!

The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23:1-6

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Psalm 4:8

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”  Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.  He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

Psalm 91:1-5

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33

6 Simple bible affirmations for sleep

Using Bible verses, including those above, as well as what you know to be true about God through your own experiences, can also bring peace and act as a supernatural sleep aid! Here are a few of my favorites.

  • I can rest because I know God never sleeps.
  • God is working all things out for my good.
  • My soul finds rest in God.
  • I cast all my anxiety on God and receive peace in its place.
  • God’s wing covers me like a mother hen. I rest easy here.
  • I will sleep wonderfully, remember all of my dreams, and wake refreshed in God’s perfect rest.

flower essences for sleep

Flower essences are the energetic properties of the flowering portion of a plant, captured in water and preserved as with a homeopathic tincture, using brandy. Flower essences for sleep don’t have any pharmaceutical qualities, so they won’t interact with other medications, make you groggy the next day, or create any other side effects.

Check out the Frequently Asked Questions on Flower Essences and Christian energy medicine which includes info on allergens, alcohol sensitivity, and my views on the intersection of flower essence healing and Christianity.

No fluff. No list of specific reasons or identifie No fluff. No list of specific reasons or identifiers or labels as to why this day can be hard. Or easy. Or full of sunshine. 

“Just” the soul edifying stuff of looking toward God’s promises to provide love, faithfulness, grace, and mercy from generation to generation. Trusting it just in this moment. 
And praying that it take root and build as you walk in faith. 

And somehow, it molds itself to fit every heart shape. Because they’re God’s words, not mine. And that’s what the words of our good and gentle God do. 

Be blessed. 😌

A Sabbath prayer that just so happens to be perfec A Sabbath prayer that just so happens to be perfect for the halfway point of Lent. 

Especially if Lent feels like an extended version of hot potato. You put it down. Picked it up. Dropped it quick before anyone noticed. Repeatedly. For 19 days…and counting.

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’.”
2 Cor. 12:9

I’m still learning to Sabbath. And this month’s series on Redeeming the Time has helped me see that rest is far more than pausing work. 

So whatever the “thing” is for you invite God right into the middle of it. Ask for instruction on how to create Sabbath margin and find breathing room. 

And be blessed!

Do you know this one? While I know these words are Do you know this one? While I know these words are true & good in all seasons, they’re resonating deep & fresh & new on this first day of spring. 🌿

“Why did I waste so much time worrying
You've had a plan all along, I'm listening
You made a way out of deserts & rivers just yesterday, so today

If I hear You speak, I don't need an explanation
If You tell me move, I don't need the destination
If what's promised, I never see, I'm still walking with You, You're still walking with me

You will redeem all the time I spent wandering
You've been the fire & the cloud, 
I'm following
You made a way out of bondage & darkness just yesterday

And if I know one thing
Our God is a deliverer
If I know one thing
Our God is gonna see us through

Never alone in the battle (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the desert,(He'll see us through)
Never alone in the fire (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the water (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the depression (He'll see us through)
Never alone in the addiction (He'll see us through)
In all our anxiety, He'll see us through
In our darkest thoughts, I know Jesus, He'll see us through
In every circumstance, I know, He'll see us through
If I know one thing
Our God is a deliverer
If I know one thing
Our God is gonna see us through

That is what He does, it's in His name.
