Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 7th January 2026 (Wednesday) Message
TOPIC: Sleep Well at Night
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. – Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Many people have difficulty sleeping at night, but the psalmist David tells us that our sleep can be sweet, no matter what kind of difficulty we face. Don’t ever try to solve your problems by thinking about them over and over; instead, take the time you would spend worrying and pray for what you need while giving thanks to God for all the wonderful things He has already done for you.

As you lie in bed thinking about the goodness of God, you will soon drift off to sleep. God answers prayers, but He doesn’t answer worries and complaints. The Lord has set you apart for Himself, and He hears you when you call to Him. He gives us release from our distress and has mercy on us when we pray.
If you are not sleeping well, search your heart and ask God to show you if you have done anything for which you need to repent. If so, then repent and go to sleep with a clean conscience. We are not able to hide anything from the Lord, so it is best not to try to do so. Talk to Him openly and honestly about whatever is on your mind, receive His forgiveness and mercy, and don’t worry about it any longer.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: God, You are so good and merciful, and I am grateful for Your forgiveness and for all the ways You help me. Thank You.
