Why is this so hard? I can't sleep. I have to leave for work by 4 am. Jesus, Im a wretched man. I have not followed you and disobeyed you by not being gentle with my wife. I made money and my Job my idol. I am full of anger and hypocrisy. I am full of pride. I want attention Lord. I wish for people to acknowledge me and I act so smart when i am really just a fool. I have destroyed my family. I am reaping the consequences of my actions. I have chosen poorly. I fight with others over doctrine. I accuse others of not being saved when i am in doubt of my own. I point the finger at those around me. I plead with you to change my heart and life because I keep destroying it. I hurt everyone around me. Please make my salvation real to me. Please give me new heart of love and compassion. Im tired of the way I am. I live in a world of confusion. Please let me feel loved by you. Please wrap your arms of love and grace around me. Please let me know that you are near. My faith is weak. Ive tried to act so strong as though I am a man of great faith. Im very weak and I feel like it is about gone. I try to believe your promises and that I am a new creation. i feel so tattered and unclean. Please cleanse me so that I may know for certain and never doubt your love for me. I base your love off of how I feel and my circumstances. I am disobedient. I am confused. Please give me clarity. Please speak to my heart. I plead for mercy. I am trying to accept the consequences of my actions. It hurts. Im trying to have a pure heart as I come before you. I feel as though I am never pure. I failed to be the leader of my home. Jesus please let me know you are near. Please cleanse me from my sins. I confess that I want to be cleansed from the consequences of my actions. I confess though, that I haven't forgiven and cleansed others from the consequences of their actions against me. I am a wicked man Lord. Please give me faith to rely and trust soley on your righteousness. Please speak to me. Please hear my cry. Please touch my heart and life so that I am forever truly grateful of the salvation that you give. Please help me to be genuine. I am sorry Lord. My mind wanders. Please speak to me. I am depressed a lot because of my own sins against you Jesus.

God hasn't left you alone, Otherwise you wouldn't have come this far, God wont let his Son's death be in Vain, if he loved you so much to die, why would he leave you now?, Just pray that prayer to God, read his word, He'll forgive you of your sins and he'll make you anew, If you get tempted to get mad at your wife, or your wife starts to argue with you, all I can say is, pray, tell her you love her, and walk away, God can change your heart and change your families heart. Just Trust Him,
I know it seems hopeless now, but once you can't do anything else, That's when God can step in, I know, My mother passed away and it seemed like everything was over, but God used such a evil thing to bring me closer to him and to help me study for myself, and I'm thankful, God loves us more then anything, and even when we sin, He's already trying to save us before we even knew it, The road be easy, but that's the Christian walk, Not suppose to be green pastures, It's meant to be a walk, daily we take a step.
Hebrews 13:5 [SUP]5 [/SUP]Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Matthew 28:16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1).
You will have Satan attack your sleeping patterns if you let him. Pray without doubting and put time into the sleep process expectantly. There should not be any TV in the background, or music, or lights, and eat properly etc etc.. (as a practical mention), but this is also Spiritual warfare. God would have you be rested physically and spiritually. So, knowing this is God's will proceed in praying and expecting results. Satan wants you to be frustrated.
"For so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep." ... The deepest concerns of our souls, whether they be good or bad, are furthered during sleep. Sleep is God's celestial nurse who croons away our consciousness, and God deals with the unconscious life of the soul in places where only He and His Angels have charge. As you retire to rest, give your soul and God a time together, and commit your life to God with conscious peace for the hours of sleep, and deep and profound developments will go on in spirit, soul and body by the kind creating hand of our God.
I believe this with all of my heart because I have experienced it; I too have had difficulties sleeping. I sometimes have a 6 hour turn-around time at work and I think, "If I fall asleep right now, I will only get 4 hours anyway." The stress immediately is there to halt any relaxation I might gain by willing it in Christ. To get those 4 hours would be better than what I have gotten too many times which is 2 hours instead, while being frustrated. This is no accident either the world system is driven by the "GO" button! And Satan has millions in sleep pattern trouble.
The point is, I needed to act in faithfulness to God's will there, and lay my burden down - honestly, and expectantly. God will help. I don't work that schedule always, or I would simply quit by doing God's will. But I have succeeded in praying God would help me in those times as well, and He has given me rest. My prayers will be in your corner ! God is calling you to His Peace accept it by surrendering it all to Him - that being your life. "This is my prayer Lord - Amen".

You need to lighten up on yourself and stop beating yourself up. I try to start each day with a clean slate, you cannot change what happened yesterday but you can have a positive affect on what happens today. Once you confess your sins in the eyes of God you are as white as snow. You suffer from doubt and this leads to guilt.
I have said a prayer for God to lift this unnecessary burden that you are not meant to carry. You're physically and mentally exhausted but your guilt and uncertainty seems to be the cause of your sleep problems.
I believe that you have a lot on your plate. I have prayed for God to remove the clutter that does not belong and to give you clarity of thought on how to best move forward in a new and positive direction.
