Perfect Peace

I couldn’t sleep. My small problems kept going round in my head. When I tried to think of a different topic, that lead to a reminder of things I could worry about. I knew if I didn’t sleep well, the next day would be a struggle.

Suddenly into my head came the words ‘You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him.’ I stopped thinking about myself and concentrated on Him. It wasn’t easy as my mind kept drifting back to those tiny niggles. Then I repeated the words again ‘You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him.’ I began to overcome the battle. My mind filled with thanks and praise. It had been a battle but with God’s help I drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
