Scripture Reading For Sleep Novels & Stories

The night cloaked me in its embrace, and I let myself drift, finding solace in the possibility of healing. In the quiet of the night, I whispered one last prayer to the Moon Goddess, “Guide me, please. Give me the strength I need.” And with that, I surrendered to sleep, determined to find my way through the darkness and into the light once more.

I laid back down and prepared to sleep. " I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. " I mumbled as I went back to sleep. This time, I had no dreams, as I slept like a baby till morning. **** I woke up to Angelina reading Psalms 46 to the other girls... While some listened attentively... Others simply laid sprawled staring blankly. I won't blame them though. It's human nature to be uninterested in things like this when the flesh is craving for food.

"I've thought of that already. It's no big deal. I'll be fine anyway. We'll be fine, okay. Stay calm." I was quiet for a while. I had a bad feeling, my instincts weren't pessimistic about our stay there. I tried to distract myself but the silence wasn't helping. Then I remembered a verse I loved, from the bible that I even made into a song. Unconscious, I began to recite out loud. ✝ Psalms 91:5 "I shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Time for "old faithful." I pulled out some scriptures Ruthie, my best friend, gave me. I had a bookmark in Genesis Four. That's where I'd stopped the last time I needed help falling asleep. Yes, I was a scripture-reading teenager. However, my motivation wasn't to get all spiritual - it was to get so bored, I would fall asleep. It was a tip from Ruthie - whose parents were super righteous. Ruthie called the scriptures her insomnia cure - a biblical miracle! Ha! Fortunately, it worked for me, too. I cracked the book open to Genesis Four.

… A few years later, the once oppressive home was now sinister and terrifying. Dad had completely restored my room to its former state, and he'd replaced the door lock with the strongest security lock on the market. My desk was piled high with my textbooks and mock test papers and exercise sheets, each one marked a perfect 100/100 score in bright red ink. Dad would sit at my desk every night, holding that rusty pair of compasses in his hand, driving the sharp point into his thighs without hesitation every time he felt a bout of drowsiness washing over him. He would then let out a hiss as the excruciating pain jolted him awake and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

I praise him for that, “It’s awesome. God loves it when we keep in mind His Word.” “Oh yeah, He does.” “Isaiah verse 9 of chapter 26 says, ‘My soul yearns for you in the night; the spirit in me longs for you at dawn...’ I love this verse and it always makes me keep in mind that God always waits for me and His love for me is unfathomable. It makes me realize that at night, Jesus would be waiting for me and I have to pray to Him.” He smiles at me, “You have knowledge of His Word. You know He talks to you through it.”

Inbetween the bodies, a little white paper dwelt. 1 Samuel 24:4 This is the day of which the Lord said to ME, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you" Xaver felt like he was in some sort of bad dream. He wanted to wake up. He needed to wake up and see Sreya beside him fast asleep. Weak, the little note slipped out of his hand as he trudged to the bed and sat down.

¶¶ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ~ Romans 10 vs 13 ¶¶ Few minutes past midnight and Isabelle still couldn't sleep. She wanted to, but thoughts invaded her mind to the point she could only toss and turn in her bed. It wasn't just about the dreaded picture of a future with a step-mom, but also about the conversation with the school's counsellor. He had said not to think too much about it, but everyone knows that wasn't how the heart was wired; don't worry only made it freak out!

Like it just happened yesterday and I will never forgive him. Echo hugged me, and “I am sorry to hear that,” he said. “It is not your fault, don’t say sorry”, I cried to him. “So, what is your plan now?” He asked “I don’t know,” I answered while crying. I take the bible out from my cabinet, which I took from nanny Silva’s room, and open it to verse. Deuteronomy 31:6 and read it silently because I want to clear my mind from everything that is happening to me. The bible verse might help me clear my mind. I take a deep breath before reading it.

Chrіѕt, I just dоn’t knоw. Stіflіng a yawn, I rеаlіzе I’m nоt gоіng tо fіnd еvеrуthіng оut mуѕеlf. I mау bе wіrеd, but my bоdу is tired. It’s time I tаkе a brеаk аnd get some ѕlеер.
