Before I sleep
"When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches,
For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy."
(Psalms 63.6-7 AMP)
What do you think about before you fall asleep?
I think about all kinds of things. Whatever challenge I faced that day or will face in the next day. Arguments I had or something others said to me. Activities that I might be planning. Things I want to buy. On and on.
On most days, I do not praise God and thank him enough before I sleep. When there is something major going on, it is natural to remember. "Phew, if not for you, God, I do not know how I could get through it." But even on seemingly mundane days, God is at work. And there are a lot to give thanks for.
And equally, or even more so, I ought to reflect on how I have lived my waking hours. Have I lived for God?
