SWEET SLEEP WITH JESUS | Exhaustion, Sleep Deprivation, Night Prayer Christian, Sleep Anxiety, Sleep MeditationShow Notes
Have you ever had one of those days where the weight of everything just followed you into the night? You’re physically spent, but your mind is heavy with sadness or overwhelm, and honestly, you just don’t "feel" spiritual enough to pray. In this episode, I’m getting real about a recent rough day where I felt that exact same exhaustion. I didn't have the words to pray, but I knew I needed God’s presence. I’m sharing how the Holy Spirit met me right where I was through the truth of Psalm 3:3—reminding me that even when we are at our lowest, God is the shield around us and the one who lifts our heads high. If you are currently navigating a season of sleep deprivation or just a particularly draining 24 hours, join me for this guided sleep meditation. We will walk through Psalm 3 together, using it as a night prayer christian women can stand on to reclaim their peace. It’s time to relax, release the mockers and the worries of the day, and rest in the safety of the One who answers when we cry out. In this episode, you will:
Hear a transparent story of finding God when you don't feel "spiritual." Experience a deep-dive meditation on Psalm 3 to settle your nervous system. Learn how to view God as your shield when life feels like an uphill battle. Receive an invitation to find true, restorative peace in a relationship with Jesus.
