Fatigue and fear

I often make a pot of coffee, or a couple cups anyway, after 9pm and drink a cup or two by 10pm or 11pm,
then fall fast asleep , nice sound, good , restful sleep until 4am to 9am depending.

So coffee won't necessarily keep someone awake. (I realize it does sometimes).

Also, if I put a teaspoonful of CALM Powder in the coffee, I sleep perfectly even moreso (I always sleep good anyway) - just like a baby perfectly quiet and rested.

Before all of this, several decades ago, I read and believed Yhwh's Word -
Psalm 127:2
KJ21
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He giveth His beloved sleep.
ASV
It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.
AMP
It is vain for you to rise early, To retire late, To eat the bread of anxious labors— For He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep.

Remember also the gift of Peace from Yhwh in Jesus to everyone -
and "Perfect Love (HIS LOVE, not ours) casts out fear" (totally).
Because there
is no fear in someone whose sin has been wiped clean/ forgiven.

May God's peace be upon you

Heavenly Father, help this one to have a restful sweet sleep. Take away the fear and restore peace to this one's mind, In Jesus Name, Amen

Father I pray blessings on this request and for restful sleep in Jesus name I pray. Also taking these needs before God in prayer on the 1:15PM bbnradio.org Family Altar program.

Try using half caf coffee...It helped me break the cycle of not getting enough sleep.
Meanwhile,prayers are headed your way!!!

Absolutely! Father we ask that YOU now come into our daily routines and help us to straighten them out! We know good health depends upon good sleep...and we need YOUR strength to maintain those good habits! Father oh we know YOU KNOW that when we become fatigued that the devil can get a grip on our thinking... but that is the ONLY thing he can do is affect our thoughts. Help us to keep our thoughts focussed upon YOU O God, our Sovereign LORD!

Praying for good rest and sleep as well as for peace and comfort in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

This seems like such a small request that I'm a little ashamed of having to ask for prayer for it, but I'm getting desperate so here I am.

I have been having so much trouble sleeping. I experience a lot of fear when I'm laying in bed before I go to sleep, so I have a tendency to turn a TV on or music (a long playlist of praise music on youtube) so that my mind is busy with that noise. Otherwise extremely irrational fearful thoughts take over my mind.

It's getting to where I'm drinking coffee later in the day to get through work, and the caffeine keeps me up later so the next day I drink more coffee, etc. I know it's a stupid cycle to be in.

But anyway, if you'd please pray for me, I would so deeply appreciate it. Thank you.

Nothing wrong with leaving the radio on all night, if you need to.

Lord, have mercy.

I got saved like this-cudnt sleep -started reading the bible and fell in love with Jesus ..lol

Praying for you

There are no silly requests-- all are as important. I can say that I can understand. I've struggle with it aswell. Some days are worse than others depending If I stay away from caffeine at night. Tea seems to work better for those nights I just want to pull my hair off is so frustrating. Headphones and music seem to also mellow me out. Is just my thing.

Anyway, prayers your way most definitely
