Psalm 3:5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

Many times when we get overwhelmed by things we feel like we want to sleep and try to somehow sleep away the trouble. Many people take times like this to turn to worldly fixes such as drink or drugs to try and make the problems go away as well.

King David was being hounded by Absalom’s army and I’m sure he would have felt like sleeping his problem away. But his example to us should inspire us because David turned to God and trusted in Him.

When we place our faith and trust in God, no matter how big the problem, we will find that He is able to sustain us too just as He did King David in his time of trouble.
