He Grants Sleep

I love to sleep! That's a "hobby" for quite a lot of our cell members! However recently, sleep has been running away from me! It's not that I am sleeping lesser, but I've been burdened by tonnes of anxious thoughts about ministry (BB), work and other stuffs. These worries plague me like a swamp of mosquitoes before slumber each night and when morning breaks. Sigh..

I need rest (for my brains)!

Ps 127: 1, 2 (italic mine)

Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat — for he grants sleep to those he loves.

I have been working too hard, thinking too much. I am frustrated when people don't do their job and I'm always tempted to take over, lest they fail. I need not worry, because I would have worked in vain if not of God's mighty hand behind everything I do. I would have missed the point if I devoid myself of sleep to get things done. God grants sleep to those he loves!

Yeah!

I agree abt the always tempted to take over lest pple fail. i sometimes also am very afraid if i delegate work and nothin gets done or the works become messier than before then i'll have to clean up the pieces. But nevertheless, i think i shld learn to delegate more and trust pple more.
