Capture that thought

I don’t know if this ever happens to you, but I have some nights where I not only struggle to fall asleep, but I wake up multiple times during the night and find it difficult to go back to sleep. I had one of those nights last night. I played out conversations in my head over and over again, tweaking one thing or another to get my point across-all in my mind. I started spinning on one small potential data point and going down a dark path of what if’s and could be’s. All of this robbing me of much needed sleep and peace. I shared that I pray for God’s guidance and discernment daily, but last night, I felt to my core that God was trying to tell me something. Then the light of day came and I recognize that God would not steal my sleep, God would not give me these dark thoughts nor pull me away from trusting Him and pushing me to “take control”-that’s not God’s direction for me. Even knowing that logically, I still could not get out of my own head. So, I sought prayerful support from my wonderful community of believers…and boy, did they come out strong.
