Trouble Sleeping

[Akner39]

So a few months ago this started happening to me. I used to sleep fine before I didnt think anything of it but now its extremely hard to now. I feel like someone is watching me. I get scared. I sleep with a bunch of lights on. I used to be scared of someone breaking in but its not even that, that I'm scared about it. I just sorta of feel someone watching me. I get scared and just stay up all night watching my door expecting it to come into my room and I only fall asleep when I see the sun starting to rise because I become less scared. I been praying about for a long time and NOTHING has changed. Could I just be scared of the dark? Or is it something spiritual?

This all depends. I knew someone who was afraid of something and she would just be in the light crying.
What I would do is look for security in God.
Psalm 97:10
You who love the LORD, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of His saints;
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
You know the story of job where he ALLOWED Satan to try to tempt him? God has all power over what happens to us.
SO if anything was to happen it HAD TO BE allowed by God first. God knows whats best for us right? So God will keep his Children out of the hands of Satan.
Go to sleep knowing God is in control.
Sometimes prayer is not where we find answers but directly out of the word of God.
God bless

Just remember everything can have a spiritual application.
John 10 27-30
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one

You are this safe. What is there to fear?

Oh my gosh! Same thing happened to me years ago after a simple day light savings time. I now take melatonin before bed and I sleep very well.

I have to sleep with my hall light on and sometimes with my door open and i always wait to sleep until the sun is coming up i have not figured out why though.

Same here!

There is scripture that says reading the bible before bed will help put you to rest.

What verse is that?

 

[xJoe]

I would say try Psalm one and emphasize verse 2.
the book of proverbs also is something you should go through. how it constantly tell you to keep the commandments, go over them, write them on the table of your heart.
Reading a verse and such will not help you much. you need to go over Gods word and think on it ect ect.
Bits and pieces will only help in small ways but dedicate your night to reading a chapter or so that will do something great for you.
