Sleeping Peacefully

Do we love the Giver even more that the gracious gifts that He has poured in abundance into out laps? Do we seek the Lord Himself in preference to the multiplied blessings and precious promises that are ours.. by grace through faith in Christ?
Do we unreservedly confess our dependence upon the Lord and unconditionally acknowledge Him to be sovereign in our life. Do we cast all our cares on Him. Do we lie down in peace and sleep secure in the knowledge that He is in control?
No matter what difficulty we may be facing, despite the depths of despair to which we may fall, we must always confess our dependence on the Lord and acknowledge the sovereignty of the Lord our God for:
"In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we have scarce scratched the surface of Your grace and goodness towards us, in that You sent Your only begotten Son to die on the cross to pay the punishment that we deserve. Our love is poor and weak and our thoughts and prayers are too often motivated from selfish desires and a lack of understanding of Who You are.. and what You have done for us. Increase our desire and love for You and help us to become, “people after God's own heart', and desire You above all things, in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
