As we adjust to the shift in time, it’s a reminder that true rest for our souls isn’t found in just slowing down, but in wholehearted devotion to God.

Sleep struggles are universal, and the modern quest for the perfect night’s rest, whether through gadgets, medications, or routines, can be a reminder that true peace comes from surrendering to God's control.

We find ourselves rushing through Scripture readings, Advent devotionals, and prayer as we frantically try to get gifts purchased, food prepared, parties attended, and work finished. And we just can’t seem to find enough time to sleep.

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.”
