help with my sleepless nights and wasted days

this is a simple prayer. i find that in my current situation of not being able to sleep in the night--falling asleep just as the birds wake is what has been happening--i can't function, and i feel ten times as lonely for people and some kind of comfort over the heartbreak of being deceived by the person i so deeply loved and trusted.

i know that i will not heal if i cannot walk in the sunlight every day. please, i am asking for help. pray that my sleep will be corrected for good. so that i am waking when the birds wake and sleeping the whole night through.

Update - 5 months ago:

my sleep is getting a little better. thank you for all of your prayers, they have helped. instead of waking as the sun begins to set, i am waking just after noon because the sun burns me too hot through my window or because i have an appointment to keep. i know they are all blessings in disguise.

Into_the_Light - 5 months ago: and "wasted" days might turn out later that they have been properly invested, precious reflecting, purification and preparation days....
godisintherain - 5 months ago: thank you, that's a sweet reminder. i know what you say is true -- it's just very hard to think so much when i'd honestly rather forget it all.
Into_the_Light - 5 months ago: Be sure I learned that on a terrible rockhard way, in fact within this 8 years of horror after the crime ruined my former life I survived only by suicidal thinking, establishing it as a ritual for one day in a month to use it as a means to release unbearable pain, to cry it all out. Its a proven fact that this way of using suicide is a life prolonging emergency resource because I could not "ground" myself in any other way, its the only way I can cry and find some relief by coming into contact with my emotions. Without that relief the pressure would have become absolutely unbearable. But this is due to absolute extreme circumstances I had to face, in your case you can take care to search for creative ways to balance your moods and actually enrichen your life in making the efforts to properly deal with your sensitive,vulnerable nature. Everything that is not totally devastating and life threatening can have very positive sideeffects to for example look out for new ways to take better care for yourself, to become more friends with yourself which will bring good fruits to you and others to name just very few of many positive aspects of wounds or sad events. Before the total escalation in 2007 I always understood these unhappy events in my life as a challenge to improve my knowledge in many many ways be it self-healing, relationship dynamics, meditation, whatever and that brought me an abundance of very positive, fruitful insights as it will bring you if you shift your attention from grief to heal, comfort, nourish yourself, etc., hugs, Marcus PS: The most beautiful and truly intelligent people I ever met had always suffered an awful lot, pain is a mostly unwanted but very powerful teacher. But although I had this view quite early in my life there is of course a limit one can endure without nightmarish & probably livelong lasting consequencies & damages and I could not tell you right now wether I will survive this year or not but this is only due to most extreme circumstances most people never have to face, so there is no contradiction to the outlook I suggested to you, anyway my very best wishes to you and dear thanks for your promise, it really touched me when i read it, hugs, Marcus

Dear Lord,
I lift this woman up before you. Please heal her in mind, body and soul so that she may get the restful sleep that we all require. Heal her broken heart and bring her a man that is worthy of her love and devotion. I pray in Jesus' mighty name. Amen

Please Lord bless and heal this person and guide and protect and comfort and strengthen and heal them mightily. Please lay your healing hands upon them and take away the pain and heartache and this insomnia. Please grant them peace and healing and let them be able to rest. Please Lord work miracles here and let them be able to sleep and rest so they can better function and heal. Have you been to a doctor to see if there is something that can be done? I would recommend you seek out some medical help and some counseling to help you get well from this and also try some chamomile tea or taking a warm bath just before you go to sleep - it may help to relax you and also I've found that some of the CD's for ocean sounds, or nature sounds can help too. You sound in great pain, so seek out some medical help and counseling first and see if they can help you to get some rest. God Bless you and I will keep you in my prayers. amen

godisintherain - 5 months ago: thank you for praying for me. i need so much peace in my heart and mind, but i am having a lot of trouble, especially at night, with finding it. i haven't been to a doctor yet, but i plan to see my therapist tomorrow. i'm sure she will give me advice and possible help. those ocean sounds CDs are a very good idea. thank you for bringing that up, i believe it could help. i'm so grateful for every one of your prayers.

Lord Jesus, as I lay my head down to sleep I will pray unto Thee the words of psalm 4, so that I will have a peaceful night of sleep every night, and I do promise Lord to give praise and thanks unto Thee for seeing me safely through the night with psalm 149 upon my waking. Amen!
