In peace I will go to bed

My 9 year old girl does not like to sleep alone, for some reason she is always afraid, she says that she does not like to be alone, and that she feels that something will happen to her if she sleeps alone ...

I tell her that she must trust that God is always with her and that nothing bad will happen to her. I tell him to declare this verse every time he goes to sleep:

Psalm 4: 8 Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960)

8 I will lie down in peace, and I will sleep also;
Because only you, Jehovah, make me live confidently.

And this is a verse that applies a lot in these cases, when there is fear or terror at night ... however, this verse goes further.

It is not only about the night terror, but it also tries to recognize that only in God, we lead a quiet and trusting life. Only when we are in the ways of God can we say firmly, I am sure! I fear nothing because my God is with me.

That confidence or that life full of confidence is what allows us to have a good sleep, allows us to rest and sleep in peace.

A troubled person, who has a life with problems and does not have God in his life, is a person who probably will not sleep well, is a person who will wake up every hour thinking about his problem, looking for a solution.

That is where we can see the difference of having God in our lives and the full confidence that with Him we can live confidently.

If we let problems take over our lives, the enemy will have control over our lives, because it will rob us of the peace that only God can give us, it will take away our sleep, and consequently we can get sick, because when a person does not sleep well , he gets sick. We all need a break every day, and the best rest is to have a restful sleep.

So when you leave all your problems in the hands of God, and live trusting in his word, you can sleep in peace and rest in his arms.
