Insomnia keeps me awake.
Can't quiet down my thoughts,
my worries, my fears.
So much tossing and turning,
such restlessness.
If sleeplessness lingers
there must be a reason.
For in the dead of night
with nothing to distract me,
this is when I am closest to You.
I want to count sheep,
but maybe it will be better
to start counting my blessings.
I begin remembering
all that You have done for me
and peace settles over me.
Then rest find me in a way
that not just refreshes me
but restores me.
