Encouragement from an insomniac.

Life is nonstop, it won't let us rest.
Life is full of pain, it seems unbearable.
Life is stressful, it's hard to find peace.
Life is surprising, things change in an instant.
Life is heart breaking, people we love leave.

Though life isn't always easy there is rest.
There is comfort. There is peace. There is a God who never changes.
There is a God who never leaves.

God gives rest.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

God heals pain.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:17-18

God gives peace.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

God never changes.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

God will never leave.
For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

God is everything that we need, all that we could ever need or want.
You just have to trust Him because he keeps all of his promises.


God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Psalm 46:1-3

He's always there. A help in trouble. When there's no one to talk to,
He's there. He's there to listen when no one else will. No matter
what happens.
