ROCK-A-BYE CHRISTIAN:

Honoring God's Aid In Dealing With My Insomnia

 
NOTE: THIS IS JUST ONLY EXAMPLE of how God has kept me to the point of keeping me from PHARMACEUTICALS, (even approaching age 64.) In dealing with my chronic insomnia, (and everything else that's wrong with me), I rely on Him, rather than medications. It's a learning process that takes time to perfect, and there are times I fail, but that's okay, He gives me His strength to make it through the day so that even with barely any sleep for weeks, I'm still okay! 

He has taught me that submitting to Him is KEY. I meditate on His Word by committing some verses to memory and mulling them over in my mind, which leads to deeper praise and worship....and then, I.... fall.... asleep!


Rock-a-bye baby,
all the day through;
rocking away in her chair,
was all mom had to do.

But no longer a wee babe,
I confront rest, as with a knife
and wrestle for favor:
to crush struggles impeding life.

Still battling with eyes open;
I toss in my bed, 
for rest always eludes me,
when it's sabotage,
I do indeed dread.

Then I turn over,
and decide to seek God;
as He stretches His Long Arm.
Then He pulls me in,
and I no longer fight
against dread and His divine Charm. 

And then, my concern? It evaporates,
like dew from the ruffled grass,
and He rocks me, in His perfect comfort,
and I fall asleep at last!

Rock-a-bye Christian,
all the night long;
submitting to Him,
turns around
everything that's wrong.

Rock a bye Christian,
these words say it all;
taking comfort in His Care,
with great thanks,
do I fall……
