Give it to God and Go to Sleep…

Let God take Your Pain Away

Dear Reader!

Thursday night I experienced what scripture calls a” gift of grace.” SLeep… Blessed Sleep.!”

Taking time to rest and recover is an act of trust in God! His sacred gift heals us if we believe God can and He did!

Exhaustion beat the pain I had suffered through Thursday afternoon and evening and suddenly my desire for God’s healing gift …sleep … conquered all and peace and comfort prevailed as I slept.

When I woke up Friday morning the pain had subsided leaving only a slight soreness and lots of thankfulness!

Matthew: 11: 28-30: ” Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest…. you will find rest in your soul.”

And what a difference a day makes… I woke up to breakfast, daily medicine. and then back to sleep until afternoon -my well/being restored!!!!!

… If you have faith…
A perfect book to keep close…
… And what good is faith if we can’t turn our pain over to God?

Happy to report that Friday was painless and so ” unbusy ” compared to Thursday’s crazily crowded day!

I slept and regained my painless strength back.

So True!!!! 😊🙌

Don’t we all come across days where our faith and trust is tested and once again God reigns true in his continuous love for His children!

So until tomorrow… enjoy the day and keep love and happiness alive!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”

    I am so relieved that you were blessed with restorative rest and sleep. In our weak moments, we get frustrated and try to struggle on our own, despite the countless times He has rescued us from ourselves. I needed this message this morning. I woke up feeling tired and wobbly from a very busy Friday. I have a church program this morning and felt too yucky to go. I’m releasing it and getting ready for the morning. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” You are so inspiring ❤
