Countless hours of sleep have been lost to worry and anxiety. Our minds are preoccupied, so we have difficulty falling asleep. Worrisome thoughts continually force their way into our slumber causing us to suddenly awaken. Worry and anxiety try to rob you and I of the rest we deserve, but Scripture offers hope.

Psalm 121 reminds us of a 24/7 watchman, who is constantly looking after us. “He will not let you stumble. The one who watches over you will not slumber – indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps” (Psalm 121:3-4).

Allow those words to soak in for a moment. The Lord is watching over us, and he never takes a break. Psalm 121 reminds us the Lord is always watching; he is always protecting, so we can rest.

The next time worry refuses to let you sleep, or anxiety loudly bangs on the door in the middle of the night, Try remembering the promise of Psalm 121. You have a 24/7 watchman!
