Insomnia

Incessantly tossing and turning with
Numerous thoughts running through my head
Sleep evades me even though I’m exhausted. If
Only medicine would be the answer then I’d not spend so
Many nights in pain and distress
Not knowing why I can’t resolve the
Issue, I ask The Father to intervene on my behalf
All is in His hands and He knows my needs

Author notes

Ps 127:1 Except YAH build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except YAH keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so He giveth His beloved sleep.
Mt 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of YAH, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

    This is one good acrostic about insomnia... I only noticed it was actually acrostic when I read it for the second time... writing acrostic is one of my weaknesses so I have to commend you for doing a good job with this one. XD

    Yes, He can give us peace...I know that feeling too well of needing sleep...worked the 11-7 shift for 9 years and like you said even when I am tired I am awake...I too try to pray to calm it all down. Excellent. Blessings.

      The author is asking God's intervention for nothing else can seem to help him beat his insomnia... Well, if medicine won't work, I just hope prayers will work
