Last night was much better than the one before with the vomiting, panic attack and inability to breathe. I am here at the table with the oxygen machine resurrected again. For whatever reason, I can’t seem to get enough air. God, help me with that. It’s the scariest thing.

2 am

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:17-18)

“Arouse Yourself; why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not reject us forever.” (Psalm 44:23)

As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age. (Genesis 15:15)

I’ve been thinking about verses for insomnia. I have trouble staying asleep these days. It’s 2 am, and I’m at the kitchen table. Can’t close my eyes without waking back up shortly. I don’t know what the problem is.

I spent the entire Day at the ER, I guess about 10 hours. Lots of testing, and they found I am Covid Positive, so that explains a few things about how I have been feeling.

Fear lives so strongly in these night-time hours. All by yourself you’re making monsters up, and the enemy has a field day with it. Trying to stay in the Word. God helps us if we turn to him.

I pray for relief for this back pain so that I can go back to sleep. Please have mercy on me. I pray for fear to run to you and to your Word.
