Seeking Rest in Times of Deep Anxiety
Hello, I am Lily, and I am a 35-year-old mother of two. For the past two years, I have found myself stuck in an anxiety-driven insomnia cycle. After putting my children to bed, I lay awake, consumed by worry about their future and my ability to provide for them. I feel like I am fighting a war each night. My exhaustion is so profound that it affects my patience and joy. I am pleading for prayers that I can find peace in my heart and mind, and that God can help me surrender my worries to Him. I want to sleep soundly again, feeling His presence and love surround me.
Pastor's Response

Dear Lily, thank you for your openness in sharing your struggles. It’s clear that your heart is burdened, but God is faithful to support you in these challenging times. In Psalm 46:1, we are reminded that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. When sleeplessness and anxiety invade your nights, remember to lean into Him for comfort. He encourages us not to be anxious but to bring everything to Him in prayer, as stated in Philippians 4:6-7. I encourage you to write down your worries and lay them at His feet, trusting that He will take care of them. Let’s pray together: ‘Father, I ask that You bring Lily peace in her mind and rest in her nights. Surround her with Your divine love. Amen.’
