The prayers in Prayers for Sleepless Nights are words of friendship, of companionship with God. They are not intended as sleep aids—although it would be nice if it worked out that way! Rather, they are intended to be possibilities for you to make use of your wakeful times and wandering thoughts. After all, you are awake. God is awake. And God is there for you.
—From the Introduction Many of us have been there: Those long, cold nights where our minds just refuse to let us drift off into the comfort of sleep. Instead the pressures and stresses of our daily lives intrude upon the time when we are supposed to be most comfortable. While Prayers for Sleepless Nights may not help readers actually fall asleep, it will give them a framework to do something constructive: create a personal relationship with God.
Each general topic in Prayers for Sleepless Nights contains three or four prayers on specific issues. A Scripture quote provides an opportunity for reflection on the topic, and then readers are given space to turn their reflections into their own prayers to help them through the dark hours of the night—an informal part of their conversations with God.
Topics include:
- Bills, Bread and Boundaries
- Decisions
- Forgiveness
- Illness
- Resentment and Anger
- Working
