How can Scripture help you sleep better?
Mike Payne
It’s 4.10 in the morning, and you have been awake for well over an hour. You are battling with anxious thoughts, and sleep is impossible. You have an important meeting at work later on today, and you know you won’t be up to it. You see no way out. Help!
Have you ever been there? I have. And no doubt you have found help from the word of God. I certainly have. In fact, I have three ‘friends’ who have helped me. Three Bible words:
‘Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord…’

We have probably all heard about the driver asking for directions, and being told: ‘If I were you, I wouldn’t start from here’!
As the people of God, we are called to a life of holiness. But where do we start? What is the first step? It’s vitally important to get this right if we want to avoid detours and pitfalls on our journey. In this article I maintain that the starting point in our life of holiness is what we know. Yes, there’s still plenty for us to do, but that doesn’t come first. We start with what God wants us to know.
