Sometimes, when the world quiets down, it feels like our minds get the loudest. You lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, while thoughts race through your head \u2014 worries about family, health, or even fears about the future. You might be frustrated by your sleeplessness, feeling ashamed as if you should have this figured out by now. It\u2019s as if your faith isn\u2019t enough to quiet the storms within. I get it. You’re not alone in this struggle.<\/p>\n
