Psalm 77:1-6 “For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted. I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah. You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently enquires:”

Have you ever been so distressed that you stayed up all night crying out to God? If so, you have something in common with Asaph! In truth, what else should we do? Unfortunately, we’re probably more likely to mull, rant, and despair than to turn it over to God. Next time you find your sleep troubled, try praying, reading, singing, and even praise. And, if you still find yourself distressed, keep trying. It’s a recipe for peace!

Philippians 4:6-7 “In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.”
