Sweet dreams, sleeping well. Don’t we all long to sleep deeply?
As a teen girl at 14, I began to pray over my sleep. I was in constant fear. The fear hindered my sleep. I had dabbled in the occult. After giving my life to Jesus, I still had awful nightmares. It took months to get my rest back. (If God did it for me, He will do it for you)!
My sister and I began to recite Psalm 91 nightly before going to bed. I encourage you to memorize Psalm 91. It is a powerful passage for safety.
Other verses I stand on before sleeping are:
Psalm 4:8: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
Proverbs 3:24: “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”
Psalm 127:2: “In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to those he loves.”
Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
I like to say these aloud and pray them before going to bed.
Anytime there is fear, I stand on Psalm 91 before sleeping. Take authority over the devil. Cast him out of your house, your dreams, and your sleep. Welcome the Holy Spirit to minister to you as you sleep (Psalm 77:6).

Favorite Sleep Routine

Favorite Sleep Routine

Sleep routines help us achieve optimum rest. I wanted to take a moment and share my favorite sleep routine with you.
When the planets align just right, and my kids are self reliant (a girl can dream, right?)… I can fulfill this routine. It doesn’t happen every single night, but this is my goal.
Shut It Down
First, for a good night’s sleep, I turn off my electronic devices two hours before I go to sleep. For those two hours, I try to stretch, have some great talks with family members, and prepare for the day ahead.
Bore Me
Secondly, I try to read a boring book. Most self help books fit the bill. I want to relax and not get over stimulated.
Wash On, Wash Off
Thirdly, I shower. Using lavender body wash and lotion is my favorite! (Young Living sells excellent ones). I try to relax and soak in the hot water. After I shower, I spray magnesium spray on the bottom’s of my feet.
Afterwards, I apply either Veviter, Lavender, or Cedarwood essential oils to my feet. Sometimes, if I still feel keyed up, I take a melatonin or two.
Bible Time
Fourth, I lay in bed and read my Bible. I want God’s Word to be the last thing on my mind. It’s light’s out at this point. As I fall asleep I try to set my gaze on Jesus. I fall asleep thinking of his love for me.
This is when I pray. I sure don’t pray long at this time. Gratitude fills this time as I drift off to sleep, thanking Him for the day behind me.
A Few Extras
Other things that give me a great night’s sleep are: my register fan that makes noise, my ceiling fan that keeps me cool, noise lessening/light blocking drapes, and my wonderful comforter that always keeps me the right temperature. I keep the temperature in our house between 64-68 degrees year round. Sleeping in cool temperatures helps me greatly.
What is your favorite sleep routine? I will post Bible verses to pray over ourselves when we sleep soon.
