We are truly sorry to hear about your father's struggle with insomnia and we are here to support and pray with you. First, we want to remind you of God's promise in 1 Peter 5:7: "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." God cares about every detail of our lives, including our sleep.
First, we should address the issue of not mentioning Jesus. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Your father's decision to stop taking sleeping pills to avoid addiction is commendable. We trust that the Lord will honor his desire to be free from dependence on medication. Let's pray together for God's healing and peace.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the father of our fellow believer. We ask for Your healing touch on his body and mind, that You would grant him peaceful nights of sleep. Rebuke the spirit of insomnia and anxiety that disturbs his rest, Lord.
Psalm 4:8 "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; For you, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety."
Father, we also pray for his emotional well-being.
Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Please grant him the ability to sleep peacefully throughout the night. Help him to wake up refreshed and strengthened each day. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who paid for our healing on the cross. Amen.
In the meantime, encourage your father to read his Bible and pray before bedtime, trusting in the Lord's care. He should also consider consulting with a healthcare professional to explore other safe and natural remedies for his insomnia.
Finally, let's remember the promise in Psalm 127:2, "It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his beloved." Trust that the Lord will provide the sleep your father needs, as He cares for him dearly.
