I don’t need to give you all the details but life is feeling very challenging at the moment and I am feeling very out of my depth and struggling to be at peace and just trust God. It is hard to be still and know the peace that passes all understanding right now. (Life is not very hard for me - it is a breeze compared to most of the world I have to stress. I know I am Blessed - I do count my blessings and am thankful. Still I am
Ashamed to say the battle is no less real for me Despite all This. . )

God has always been faithful and never failed me yet. I know this in my head and heart and yet my thoughts and concerns over whelm me. I struggle to sleep and am
Anxious about many things.
Things I ordinarily wouldn’t bat an eyelid at now seem
thorns in my side prickling me
Constantly and preventing me from rest.

I really (experientially) Know He is in control and that I “just need to trust and obey” “cast my cares at His feet because He cares for me” and “take no thought for tomorrow”. I know He will
Meet all my needs according to His riches in glory. I really do know these truths. But still
here I am.

It’s hard for me to ask for help but if you feel to pray please do. I know that everything is ok, but I am not for some reason. I am (perhaps selfishly) just asking for prayer for myself, to see God for who He is, in all
That concerns me again I guess.

Thanks very much.

I understand , and I will pray for you...
I am going through a battle in my mind at the moment , yesterday was hard , and although I know the word of God to be true , I was not standing on them but leaning on my own understanding , and looking into myself , I find nothing there...

The devil is the father of lies , and he feeds our minds with doubts , to shake us in our faith , but no matter how the winds blow against us , Jesus is the one holding on to us , we only have to be still :)...

I will pray for you now...
...xox...

Hello again @Tararose, this link was emailed to me the other day (from Apple News, I think), and I remembered your prayer request. I know nothing about it other than the breathing technique they suggest for relaxing and getting yourself to sleep seems quick & easy enough, so I thought I'd link it for you here (in case you'd like to give it a try).

I don't believe that there is anything religious about it, Christian or otherwise (if you discover that I'm wrong about that, please let me know). Here you go:

Mic: There's one sleep trick that actually works. Here's the science behind why

Still praying for you.

God bless you!

How very thoughtful. I learned a similar method a while ago, it can be relaxing but i Haven’t found it makes me sleep. I will give this a shot though. Thank you

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and kind thoughts. I cannot say I am sleeping better yet as it’s early days, or that I am totally better in my thought-life - but I did have a lovely and encouraging experience with the Lord. I was wondering why I wasn’t at peace and suddenly it was as if I could see myself standing on a giant hand, it seemed to enlarge as I focused on it. I was carrying loads Of stuff - including people- and was shaking and wobbling, exhausted with the strain.

It was like I had a sudden revelation that if I let go they would only land on this giant hand and not fall endlessly and uncontrollably into chaos or an awful abyss or something. of course the hand was God’s.

There wasn’t much thought, just a sort of sense of relief as I dropped it all. it wasn’t exactly a mind blowing super spiritual vision or anything, but it was very unexpected and very tangible. it was like a sudden awareness of where I was standing and what I was doing.... Somehow. it was very calm and peaceful in my head after that.

I hope this little testimony has encouraged you all somehow, I do appreciate you all. Thanks again. (Hoping I sleep well tonight, it’s already 3am though .... we shall see.)

Praise the Lord for His mercy to such as we who call on His name :)
