Psalms for Ordinary Days

When you cannot sleep

Rev. Dr. Miriam Okafor

·

Psalm 4

0:00 / 27 min

An evening psalm for anxious nights, and a quiet practice for handing the day back to God.

The big idea

In peace I will lie down and sleep. Psalm 4 does not deny trouble. It names it, and then it rests.

For the week

Before sleep, name three things from the day, thank God for one, and hand back the rest.

Keep
listening.
