The lies wrapped themselves around me, bound me, and held me. Escape artist, I am not. Down on my knees begging forgiveness for my failure.

Excellent post!

Well, you've got a prayer posse here, and we're here for you. And we'd ride along with, into your dreams, if only we could.

I've had sleepless nights and days before, longest was nearly 5 days, and it messes me up so bad, but haven't had them for a long while now. I don't know how you do it. I had no terror involved, just sleeplessness.

Hubby (he's a regular reader of yours now) & I will pray for you before we head off to sleep each night. You have our commitment.

Billy, you help us all through our days with your words, maybe we can help you through your nights with prayer.

Praying for you, bro. Lord bless you in life, and with rest.

Does the old man also disturb you during daytime too? Thank you for articulating so well what some of us do also experience is some way. Thank you for being so open to share this, I am sure it was not easy. Just know it helped a lot of us. I hope it also helped you to write about it. May the Good Lord's Angels surround you as you sleep each night. I could identify with what you shared Billy. Does the old man also disturb you during daytime too?

The great thing is that since you belong to HIM (upper case), you have nothing to fear.<br /><br />Very insightful post over there, by the way. It gave me the heebs.

God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind! 2 Tim 1:7

On those nights Billy remind yourself of these verses and tell the enemy that there is nothing he can do to snatch you from your Father's hands or love!

There is nothing in the darkness worth walking towards or bending around to see – what is there is death and you my friend are very much ALIVE!

When you see him in this fancy get up looking all slick – you tell him to leave and that Jesus will always be the place you choose to go and where you wish to hide when life gets tough. That he can keep coming but your answer will always be the same – that night HE JESUS SAVED YOUR LIFE and LIGHTNESS WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT DARKNESS EVER AGAIN!

PRAYING you sweet sweet slumber in the LORD and nights where the light fills you so bright your wife wakes up wondering if you remembered to turn the lights off!

Blessings,
Jill

We win, he loses. I keep remembering what you said in a previous post, Living is the hard part! Dying is easy! <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ Kat Billy,
