God is our Protector
After my husband, Billy passed away, I had trouble sleeping. I felt very alone and scared (Even though my 3 boys never left my side). Every sound I heard, I imagined someone trying to break in the house. I was also worried that I would not be able to pay the bills or even remember when trash day was. Billy was my security, and I depended on him for that. After several months of being afraid it occurred to me that I was not alone. I did not need to carry this burden by myself. I prayed to God that he would help me trust Him with my future. It was comforting to know that He would be my Protector. Nothing in the world could happen without Him allowing it. I am still not a great sleeper, but I do not lie awake in fear anymore.
“I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Psalms 4:8
