Isaiah 26:3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Watch<\/a><\/p>\n

I recall listening to a sermon tape by Donald Grey Barnhouse many years ago. He told of how he had just completed a meeting many miles from his home in Philadelphia, when he was given a telegram that his son had been in a serious accident and was near death.<\/p>\n

Travel at that time was by rail and as Dr. Barnhouse entered his sleeper, his spirit was greatly disturbed. He knew that it would be hours before his train arrived back home and that there was nothing he could do but leave his son in God’s hands.<\/p>\n

As he prayed, he recalled a phrase from Isaiah 65:25, ” . . . but dust will be the serpent’s food.”<\/em> <\/span>He prayed for the Lord to feed the serpent his dust and to give him a good night’s rest. The next thing he knew the porter was touching his shoulder to tell him that they were nearing Philadelphia. The Lord had answered his prayer.<\/p>\n

If you have been having trouble getting to sleep at night, ask the Lord to give you His blessed rest and to feed the serpent dust.<\/p>\n

To You Before the Close of Day<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

To you before the close of day,
\nCreator of the world we pray!<\/p>\n

Your grace and peace to us allow,
\nAnd be our guard and keeper now.<\/p>\n

From evil dreams defend our sight,
\nFrom all the terrors of the night.<\/p>\n

From all deluding thoughts that creep,
\nOn heedless minds disarmed by sleep.<\/p>\n

O Father, this we ask be done,
\nThrough Jesus Christ, Your only Son.<\/p>\n

Who with the Holy Spirit and with You,
\nShall live and reign all ages through. Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
