My apologies about the audio. 🫶🏾
When life feels out of control, it’s hard to lie down and simply stop worrying. If you’re carrying exhaustion, dealing with sleep deprivation, or trying to relax while your mind keeps returning to the same problem, I understand.
In this episode, I read Mark 4:35–41 and reflect on how Jesus slept in the middle of a real storm. I share how I practice giving my cares to God and speaking Scripture over what I’m facing, even when the situation doesn’t change right away. If you came looking for a Christian night prayer or sleep meditation, I hope this conversation gives you a passage to hold onto as you practice resting in the middle of your storm.

In this honest episode, I address a recently removed guest conversation, offer you a sincere apology, and explain why every practice shared on Sweet Sleep with Jesus must remain grounded in Scripture and aligned with the foundational Christian beliefs of this podcast.
Have you ever climbed into bed already worried that you will spend another night tossing and turning?
