I am having trouble sleeping tonight. The past few nights, I ‘ve gone to sleep and then woken up around 3 am and not fallen back asleep until almost morning, and then it isn’t even a sound sleep, more of a semi conscious dreaming. Tonight I can’t fall asleep period. Bear is snoring and Younger has decided to have a bad dream. …….
Younger is asleep again, but I still can’t get to sleep….
Anyway, I remember a prayer from “A Man for All Seasons” Now, I doubt that St. Thomas More actually used this prayer, but it always sounded good for nights like these:
“Dear Lord, give us rest tonight, or if we must be wakeful, cheerful. Careful only for our soul’s salvation. For Christ’s sake. Amen.”
Anyone know if there is a patron saint against insomnia ?- just curious.
UPDATE: I actually did some googling and did find a prayer for sleep:
Dear God,
As I lie here seeking another good night of restful sleep,
give me the peace of mind and the ability to relax.
Fulfill my needs for mental and physical restoration
so I may wake up ready for another beautiful day
which I hope You will allow me to live to enjoy
with praise and thanks to You .
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen. ********
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for Thou alone, O Lord, dost make me to dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
Cited from Dr. Helio Lemmi- Neurology. with additions by me.
Well that’s it – it’s 12:30 a.m. and Good Night to all.

What Is The Spiritual Roots to Insomnia
There are many factors that can give to a sleepless night. The spiritual root for insomnia is a spirit of fear. A spirit of fear can manifest as worry, stress in your life-like work. Many issues of life we can worry about. When you worry, you are fighting a spirit of fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. They both project into the future.
Unfortunately, some people can have a programming of fear and don’t realize it because it is so part of them.
What Causes Insomnia?
A list of ways a spirit of fear can come in and reasons for insomnia:
- Traumatic events are like a door point where a spirit of fear enters in. Have you ever been in a wreck, and you were shaken, and felt frozen in time? You may want to look at the trauma list.
- Maybe you grew up in a conditionally loved home? This is when a person performs to get love or praise.
- You may have grown up in a house where one or both of your parents would explode, and you never knew when. When that happens you become conditioned with a spirit of fear. Maybe you didn’t feel save more than 50 percent of the time?
- And, some medications can keep a person from sleeping.
What ends up happening is your body is producing too much cortisol in your body. Cortisol increases tension in your body.
How to Overcome Insomnia
Many times a person needs deliverance from insomnia. Five steps to overcome insomnia:
- Learn to pray to the Lord to give you sweet sleep.
Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Moreover, learn to journal your thoughts and worries to the Lord. Ask God to guide you to other sources of help if you need them.
Psalms 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
1 Peter 5:7″ Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”
- Then, learn to breathe deep about three times. Breath in deep, hold it for 20 to 30 seconds and then breathe out. This helps get oxygen into your muscles that helps you to relax.
- If you still feel uptight or not sleepy, learn to command your body to peace. Lay hands on your head and say “in the name of Jesus, I cast out the spirit of fear, worry, anxiety, and stress. I call on the peace of God over my life. I command every muscle in my body to relax in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
Call on the presence of the Lord to cover you where you feel Him keeping you safe.
- In addition, learn to meditate on the Lord’s Word. Learn to trust the Lord and enter into His rest.
