What do you do when you cannot sleep?

Submitted by tzeying on Wed, 2008-11-12 09:43

A number of things happened at work. I was tired and sick but cannot sleep. So what did I do? I sung "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" over and over in my heart till I fell asleep. I especially love the refrain. The problems we see today may be big but remember as compared to eternity they are only temporary. When we focus on God the things of this world will grow strangely dim. The problem did not leave, I still need to solve it. However, I now have a peaceful heart and a clear mind to handle it.

So what do you do when you cannot sleep? And what are the reasons for your sleepless night? Try turning your eyes upon Jesus.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

Refrain

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Refrain
