A Theology of Sleep: Trusting in the Lord When You Are Most Vulnerable Quotes

“Sleep is not an incidental detail in scripture. It is scattered across the entire Bible, from start to finish, and it is inherently tied to multiple individuals, significant events, key conversations, spiritual truths, and overarching periods in time and history. There is not a single section in the Bible that is left untouched by the reality of sleep.”

“When we face challenges and questions, we should not trust in ourselves, follow our own hearts, or create a litany of backup plans. Instead, we should bow before the Lord, declare our belief in Him, and fully rely upon the assurances of His Word. No matter what comes to pass, we will always be safe in the presence of the Lord, and we can rest peacefully within this truth.”

“As humans, we acknowledge how much we need our rest, but this is not the case for God. He does not need to recover from a long day. He does not need to refresh His body at night. He does not need to relax His mind. He certainly does not need prophets to awaken Him at certain times of the day. He is the everlasting God; He will never grow tired or weary.”
