NOCTURNAL DETERMINATION

I'm avoiding sleep. Actually I'm avoiding trying to sleep. The "what if" scenarios playing out in my head manifest themselves in tossing and turning.

I still worry too much.

I'm sorting through this chaos of thought.

Determination is setting in.

I will not live my days quivering at a world of my own imagination.

Fear forestalls footsteps.

We will chase life not run from it.

Tonight I will sleep.

Tomorrow I will be stronger.

With your help, Father.

PSALM 4:8

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