“I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me.” – Psalms 3:5
When I read this verse, I picture a peaceful night under a starlit sky, surrendering my worries to God as I drift into sleep, knowing He is my protector.
Psalm 3:5 reminds us of the profound peace that comes from trusting in God’s sustaining power. The psalmist illustrates a beautiful cycle of rest and renewal, acknowledging that it is God who provides the strength we need to face each day. For Christians, this verse serves as a reminder to lay our burdens down before the Lord, allowing Him to rejuvenate our spirits and sustain us through life’s challenges.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of rest and the assurance that You are always with us. Help us to trust in Your sustaining power, knowing that we can lay our worries at Your feet and find peace in Your presence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
