Dear Abba,
I'm tired. For a lifetime it seems I have been without rest. My sleep has long been tormented by the imps of the night. They take the form of flesh, cloaking themselves in the darkness of night, seeking to devour me. So long I slept cocooned in the barricade of my blanket ~ a protective covering ~ a second skin so easily torn away. Oh, my Father, to know You now. To be wrapped in the cocoon of your Holy Spirit, my Comforter. Your praises, now my lullabies, usher me into the sweet peace of Your presence. I rest with You: safe in my haven of Heavenly Hope. Abba, You wait and watch as I drift into sleep and set your angels at the cornerposts of my bed. You whisper, "Peace . . . Sleep."
Goodnight Daddy.
Psalm 4:8 "I will both lay me down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety." KJV
