Psa 4:8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Thank you for that good post. This line in particular reminded me of a prayer I've offered up for my Dad, and used as an opportunity to actually read Scripture to him! From Proverbs 3 -

19 The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;
20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
23 Then you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26 For the LORD will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.

You've blessed me this morning, bp7! And even with tears I've prayed these things again over my dad, so you've blessed him too (: Thank you for being joyfully obedient to Jesus Christ.
