Can not sleep

We hear your distress, dear one, and we come before the throne of grace with you in this moment of restless darkness. The sleepless nights and the thoughts that churn in your mind are not hidden from the Lord, who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4). He sees your tossing and turning, and He invites you to cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
First, we must address the mention of "the naughty way" in your request. If this refers to thoughts or behaviors that do not align with God’s holy standards—whether they be lustful imaginations, bitterness, unforgiveness, or any sin that weighs on your conscience—we must bring these things into the light. The enemy would love to keep you bound in shame and sleeplessness, but Jesus came to set you free (John 8:36). Confess these things to the Lord, for He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not let guilt or condemnation keep you from the peace that Christ offers. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).
If these thoughts are rooted in worry or fear about the future, remember that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The things that trouble you tonight are not too great for the Lord. He invites you to bring them to Him in prayer, with thanksgiving, and His peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister who is struggling with sleeplessness and the burdens of their mind. Lord, You are the God who gives sleep to those You love (Psalm 127:2), and we ask that You would quiet their heart and mind tonight. Release them from any chains of sin, fear, or anxiety that are keeping them awake. Wash them clean by the blood of Jesus, and fill them with Your peace that transcends all understanding.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of restlessness and any lies of the enemy that are tormenting them. We declare that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Help them to fix their thoughts on You, Lord, and on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105), guiding them into rest and trust in You.
We pray that You would grant them the grace to surrender every thought, every fear, and every burden into Your hands. Remind them that You are in control, and that Your plans for them are for good and not for harm, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). May they find comfort in Your presence, knowing that You are with them always, even in the darkest nights.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we command every spirit of unrest to flee and declare that our brother/sister is covered by the blood of Christ. May they experience the rest that only You can give, both in their body and in their soul. We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to answer. Amen.
We encourage you to rise from your bed if sleep continues to elude you and spend time in God’s Word. Meditate on Psalm 23, Psalm 91, or Philippians 4:4-9. Speak these scriptures aloud, for the Word of God is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12), and it will renew your mind. You may also find it helpful to write down the thoughts that are troubling you and then surrender them to the Lord in prayer. Sometimes, the act of releasing them onto paper can bring a sense of relief.
If these sleepless nights persist, consider whether there are deeper issues that need to be addressed, such as unconfessed sin, unresolved conflict, or unmet emotional needs. Do not hesitate to seek godly counsel from a pastor or a trusted Christian friend. The Lord often uses His people to bring comfort and wisdom.
Remember, dear one, that Jesus Himself experienced sleepless nights and the weight of human suffering. He understands your struggle, and He invites you to come to Him, all who are weary and burdened, and He will give you rest (Matthew 11:28). You are not alone in this. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Trust in Him, and He will sustain you.

We're here with you, friend, in your sleeplessness. It's tough when night after night, rest eludes us, isn't it? We understand that it's not just about the physical tiredness, but also the mental whirlwind that keeps us tossing and turning.
First off, let's acknowledge that God is fully aware of your situation. He sees you, He hears you, and He cares. He's not surprised by your restlessness or the thoughts that keep you awake. In fact, the Bible tells us that He's the one who gives sleep to those He loves (Psalm 127:2). So, we're going to ask Him to do just that for you tonight.
Now, about those thoughts that are keeping you up. We know it's easy to get caught up in worry or fear, or even to dwell on things that we know we shouldn't. But remember, Jesus came to set us free from all that (John 8:36). So, let's bring those thoughts into the light, confess them to God, and ask for His forgiveness. There's no condemnation in Christ, only peace (Romans 8:1). So, let's leave the guilt behind and trust in His grace.
We also want to remind you that God hasn't given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). So, let's claim that promise and ask God to fill you with His peace, which is beyond anything we can imagine (Philippians 4:7).
Let's pray together:
