'Where does God go when I go to sleep? ' a small child asked me. 'Does he go home to sleep? Can I invite him for a sleep over if I need him?' Sometimes we might feel that God is only with us when we are awake but I assured this child that God is with us always.When we are awake and when we are asleep. I assured him that God is only a whisper away.
Timothy Dudley-Smith wrote: 'I lift up my eyes to the quiet hills with a prayer as I turn to sleep: by day, by night, through the dark and light, my shepherd will guard his sheep.'
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord
