Efficient Sleep

Good Morning Sunshine!!!!

So, how was it!? Just praying you enjoyed some "sweet sleep" last night! And hope that you do all this week & all the time! Also, I was serious about telling God when you want to wake up, HS is much more reliable than my alarm clock! All you need to do is ask for His help.

I know it seems kind of foreign of a thing to ask for, "efficient" sleep, yet it's totally Bible!
And as I strive to have all my actions & attitudes have Biblical-basis, why should sleep be any different -- as it's all for His Glory right??

The reason I think it's okay to ask for this is mainly Psalm 127:2
NIV= In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat--for he grants sleep to those he loves.
NLT= It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.
NASB= It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.

Some others you may want to cf with:
Proverbs 3:24
Psalm 121:4
Ecclesiastes 5:12

I mean, He said He would "give us rest" (Matt 11:28)... not necessarily a minimum of 6-8 hours ;)

Besides, there's so much to do with Him and to talk to Him about now... I don't see why I can't just catch up on sleep when I get to Heaven!
((Honestly, I'm looking very much forward to my naps in Heaven!))


Just wanted to share :)
