In the early morning hours
when you cannot fall asleep,
try conversing with the Shepherd.
Don’t rely on counting sheep!

Take advantage of the silence
as you toss and turn in vain.
Try to verbalize your feelings
as you pray in Jesus’ name.

Close your eyes and praise the Savior.
Hum a song you’ve sung in church.
And you’ll sense the Lord beside you
on your horizontal perch.
