Passage: Proverbs 3:21-26*
21. My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them
out of your sight;
22. they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.
23. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not
stumble;
24. when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down,
your sleep will be sweet.
25. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes
the wicked,
26. for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot
from being snared.
Question
Do you have trouble sleeping at night? If yes, what are possible
reasons?
Practical help
Does shame from visiting smut sites keep you awake at night?
Do you worry that you'll give in to temptation and revisit the porn
pages the next day?
Verses 21-24 above explains how to help get to sleep, fearless of
tomorrow.
The insomnia therapy: Think — and act out — smart ideas.
Far from mere theory, these proverbs and other wisdom Scriptures
dare to promise relief from fear. They actually have the power to purify and embolden your
thoughts and behavior.
So, as this short series of eXXit studies has been commending, find
a faithful friend to study Biblical wisdom (e.g., the book of Proverbs). Then tap into the
benefits that only wisdom can promise: fearlessness — and a good night's sleep.
