Can Not Sleep

Once again I can not sleep .

Unresolved  fear and anxiety 

Became magnified by the dark quiet .

Praying only made me focus 

On my troubles ever more 

And I even question if God really cares .

I snuggled under the covers ,

Shut my eyes and began 

Remembering the good things 

That had happened that day .

As I counted them ,

The bright spots added up 

Like an email , a phone call ,

A friend having a good day .

Peace slowly re[laced fear .

Still a wake I listed things 

I had accomplished that today ,

No matter how trivial ,

Like doing dishes , cloths , 

Bringing in the mail .

Contentment replaced restlessness .

Finally I read comforting Bible 

Passages and prayers .

By the end of this process 

I was falling asleep , secure again 

That God really does care 

And is working in my life .
