My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. Psalm 119:148
When I have trouble sleeping, which is pretty often, here are some of the things I do to get me through the watches of the night:
*Listen on my ipod to an oldie, but great Vineyard worship CD called Isn't He. The CD is from the ole acoustic worship series. I am sure I've listened it now since the late 1990's (when it was just a cassette tape) thousands of times.
*Read the Scriptures. Recently I am reading through a several hundred page commentary on Romans by N.T. Wright. (Great stuff but after an hour or two of reading it can make you pretty sleepy!)
*As the Psalm above states, "meditate on God's promises." It's amazing how much the Spirit can speak to you out a passage that you have memorized and meditate on in your mind repeatedly over and over again. Some of my favorites are Psalm 1, 23, 34, and of course, the Lord's Prayer.
sweet dreams.
