Why can’t I fall asleep on the nights when I need sleep the most? Lightning flashed through the closed curtains, and thunder cracked right outside my window. I pulled my curtains open to watch the light show, and then quickly shut them so I wouldn’t go blind. God, please protect us, I prayed, and then lay down to rest. I am grateful for the heavenly Sentry who stands watch through the thunderstorms of life. God never sleeps (Psalm 4:8, 121:4), and I know I can count on Him to be alert and at work when writing exhaustion overtakes me. Or when I am scared and need relief.
