NIGHT FEAR & SLEEP · FIVE DAYS
DAY 02
The Watchman
“He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”
Psalm 121:3–4
Reflection
Someone is up all night, and it does not have to be you. The watch is already staffed; your shift ends at bedtime.
PRAY
Lord, You stay awake so I do not have to. Take the night shift — the replaying, the pre-living, the listening for trouble — and let me sleep like someone who is guarded.
Amen.
DECLARE
The night watch is God's shift, not mine.
TODAY'S PRACTICE
When you wake in the night, say once: 'You are awake, so I don't have to be' — then let the thought pass.
