-> 3 Bible Verses to help with Insomnia and Sleeplessness
The devil pushes us down and then lies, pointing his finger at God: Him there; He did it!
And God? God says this in all the suffering. To me. And to you there in front of the screen. This is what your God tells you, through all tribulations, through all hardship, through all despair. This is what your God tells you: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.” (God in Isaiah 43:1-3; NIV)
