Thanks be to God, I now found myself able to sleep through the night,
breathe like never before and avoid sleep apnea. Still I had a couple of
challenges: I had a hard time falling asleep, and when I woke up I often
felt tired. Minor details, but still quite important to me. Furthermore
I had to stop any ministry around 6:30 P.M., otherwise I wouldn't sleep
at all. My brain wouldn't stop running. It seems it was doing a non-stop
marathon! Quite a handicap, don't you think?
Humanly these
challenges seemed to have no solution, and all I could do was live with
them. At least that's what I thought. Still, when I read my Bible I was
assured of one fact: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who
asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the
door will be opened." (Luke 11:9-10) Last summer I came to my Heavenly
Father and poured my heart out to Him for wisdom and healing from above,
and He sure answered me.
God advised me to stop taking my shower
at night, even though human wisdom advised to do otherwise. I started to
take my showers in the morning, ending with a cold shower (Even in the
winter!). It sure revived me, and now I am no longer tired during the
day and I am more relaxed at night.
I was also advised to
research what would help me to fall asleep faster, through natural
means. As I read posts from all around the world, I noticed that people
were vouching for three natural remedies: D3, B6 and Magnesium.
I
started to take these three, and I found I would fall asleep quite
quickly. Additionally, I now was able to take care of the ministry until
9 PM, without any consequences. My brain would not continue to be
overcharged as it used to be, and I could go to bed completely relaxed.
Bye bye overactive imagination!
My wife saw the change in me and
wanted to experiment with these vitamins as well. She was also
experiencing sleep difficulties due to the cancer medication she is on.
Her reaction to these remedies was quite different. She has had restless
leg syndrome all of her life. The moment she begins to try and relax,
her legs begin to jump, which wakes her up completely. It has always
interfered with her sleep, and now even more. After starting to take
these three remedies, her legs stopped jumping! In fact, on most nights,
she doesn't have any problems at all, and only occasionally does she get
the tiniest twitch! Praise God, an answer to our prayers!
Psalms
92:1-2 became a reality to me and it can be your reality as well.
One thing I have learned is that human wisdom isn't always the best
cause of action. In fact, it is hardly ever proficient. However, as
children of the Most High, we have the opportunity to come into the
presence of our Father at any time. He will always welcome us with open
arms, listen to us with compassion and guide us to a so-much needed
solution.
I encourage anyone to come to Him with an open and
sincere heart, and find out for yourselves how much He loves you! He
will see you through! Believe me. I am living proof.
Can't sleep
at night? Are you tired through the day? Medicine will not cure you. In
fact you would have to face another addiction instead. Come to our
Heavenly Daddy instead. He is there for you!
