Today, we’re reminded that God wants us to sleep in peace. 

📖 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Psalm 4:8

The average teenager gets 6-7 hours of sleep a night. The recommended amount of sleep for a teenager is 9-9.5 hours. How much sleep do you get a night? Do you value your sleep? Or do you avoid it because you feel like you have too much to do?

Before you go to sleep, write down the things on your mind that keep you from sleeping soundly, or that keep you up at night. Tell God that you know sleep is a gift from him and ask for help to have a good night’s rest.
