I am wondering if some of your sleep problem is related to more trauma than you maybe consider in regard to the hurricane threats.

The Hurricane was just a way to cast my cares for others on the Lord ... I finally got two hours last night and woke up and got another hour, but it is so cold this morning 49 degrees that I think that might of helped. Everyone at church is praying for me and y'all too. I have VA choice, but the local clinic is not that good and the regular VA clinic is 60 miles away and takes two weeks to get an appointment. I feel like Daniel in the Bible and some Prince of Persia is keeping the Lord from healing me (even though I know that's not true) At least I praise the Lord and read my bible before I go to bed now. I won't stop doing that.

Father, I pray that you will guide geetrue into the path that will lead to sweet, peaceful sleep. May he find this path in You and Your Word, not in drugs, but in that which is natural, and supernatural. To Your glory.

I broke down and called 700 Club CBN last night for prayer and the nice man on the other end of the phone prayed a simple prayer for me ... It was around 9pm or so and I felt sleepy so I laid down, but could not sleep. A funny thing happen though I felt like an Angel was holding me in his arms for hours and then I finally fell asleep for two hours till 4:30 am

woke up and went back to sleep again on a really cold 49 degree morning for another 2 hours ... This is progress and then again this afternoon for a 2 hour nap. Now it's 10:15 PM
and no sleep just darkness and drowsy, but no sleep. I can barely get around now ... So tired ... Please pray for a break through ... I have the Blood of Jesus, I have worship music, I have scripture "God's love does not have fear perfect love cast out fear" Thank you kindly

I can't sleep please help me ... 75 year old Christian man single and all alone. It's been at least a month since I slept good. Went to bed at 8:30PM and would wake up at 11:30 or midnight, but now it's no sleep for days. It's not food or drink or coffee or drugs. I have even tried those sleep and things over the counter and they just weird me out. Told my church that I thought it might be demonic and they said, " On no Ray your a Christian covered by the blood" That I am, but I still feel a darkness about my head and shoulders that shouldn't be there. Thank you for your prayers

Get lots of exercise and enough so that your exhausted. Don't sit around all day. Build up your exercise gradually!

Still can't sleep ... It's now Sunday morning and I can't sleep ... Just a few more hours till I go to church and hopefully the small forty person church will pray for me. I've had some ups and downs lately making it barely through each day because I am retired and don't have much to do. I bought a new sleeping bag and it helped a lot so nice and comfortable, plus the colder weather has helped. Very weak I just have to hope this no sleep/no rest thing is going to end soon. Thank you for your prayers

Right back where I started still.can't sleep even after a week in the hospital ... When I went to the VA they said they couldn"t see me without an appoiment. The earliest appointment I could get was December 18th ... I said I could die by then so they checked me out and found fluid in my lungs and said it could get to my heart of left unattended ... So they sent me to ER at Mercy hospital and that took over 8 hours to get in ... Finally a sleeping pill that works for two days of rest. They worked on getting the fluid out and sent me home Monday and no more sleeping pills seems veterans are killing themselves ... So now it's right back where I was no sleep My feet feel a little better, but I"m so tired I ate good today and my church cares and I know Jesus loves me

Prayers, Geetrue. Christ, have mercy. I know what this feels like. It stinks.

I would suggest trying this; there is a prayer called the Jesus Prayer which many Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Christians and other Christians, too, often use.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Try praying this softly to yourself over and over, thoughtfully, as you rest.

God be with you, friend.

How old are you?

I was once warned very strongly, 'to never get any older', by a very old lady in a retirement village. I took the advice to heart and have never aged even one day since that day.
