Sleep In Peace ~ Trust God For Peaceful Sleep Quotes ~

Several years ago, my husband, Bill, worked out of town. Bill had been transferred several times, but I always had children in the house. This time, all the kids were gone, and I was alone.

I was a member of Planet Fitness at the time. I had some friends with whom I shared my situation. They had a lot of ideas about what I needed to do to keep myself safe if someone tried to break into the house at night.

After listening to their scary advice, I had a hard time sleeping. I barricaded myself in the bedroom. I took my earplugs out in case I needed to hear if anyone was trying to break in. I was so stressed that I found myself lying at the end of the bed when I woke up in the morning.

Finally, I decided to put my trust in the LORD! If someone broke in, I had had a good life, and I was ready to leave this planet! I put my earplugs back in and slept in peace.

Our Bible verse says. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe. Psalm 4:8 NLT

I put this verse into practice and slept well from then on. I highly recommend it!

Sleep In Peace.

I'm Just Passing Through

By Kay Heitsch

This world is not my home. I'm just passing through. ~ Citizenship Quotes ~

We are all on a journey home. Our citizenship is in heaven. What we do with the time between our birth and death is what matters. Are we going to work the plan God has for us or stress about what's going on in this world?

It's easy to get all entangled in what's going on in this temporary home. I am guilty of that at times, too. But I am happy for the reminder that this is not my home. I am just traveling through.

Our Bible verses say. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. Philippians 3:20 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. Hebrews 13:14

These two verses make it clear that this world is not our permanent home. We are just passing through.

This world is not my home. I'm just passing through.

The Power of Words

By Kay Heitsch

Words are powerful. They can create, or they can destroy. So choose your words wisely. ~ Motivational Quotes ~

I don't know if we really think about the power that our words have on our lives that often. Our faith is activated by our words. We need to speak about what we believe and what we want in our lives.

I wonder how our lives would change for the better if we spoke words of healing, freedom, and blessings over our lives and those of others.

Our Bible verse says. Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21

Our words can bring life or death. Our words have consequences. Never forget that.

Words are powerful. They can create, or they can destroy. So choose your words wisely.

Live With Purpose

Don't Just Exist-Live With Purpose ~ Purpose Quotes ~

We only have a limited time on earth. We all have 24 hours in a day. One person doesn't get any more time than another. What we do with our 24 hours is up to us. We can exist and do nothing meaningful, or we can live a life of purpose.

Our Bible verse says. Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise. Ephesians 5:15 NLV

If we live a life of purpose, we will live as wise people. We need to be very careful that we don't just exist as the unwise but live as wise people.
