Ps 23:1-4
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

I’m definitely not a stranger to waking up in the middle of the night with anxious thoughts. I find this simple and straightforward prayer helpful:

Father, help!
Fear is making me stressed, anxious, and perturbed. It is trying to steal my sleep. I repent and turn the opposite way of fear. I give to you all my fear right now, Father God. I put every concern and burden in your hands. I let them go. Now, I receive your peace, the peace of Jesus that He has given. May this peace guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus so that I may go to sleep. I also ask for spiritual understanding, discernment, and wisdom for everything You have me to process at Your appointed time.
In Jesus’ mighty name.
Amen.

Could be hormones. Magnesium and vitamin d3 go together and melatonin. If it’s hormonal use 60-80 drops 3x a day of ashwaganda. For hormone balancing and it works. Not expensive.

Stealing your sleep, READ YOUR HOLY BIBLE for a little while, then close your eyes, and Focus your mind on what you’ve just read it works.

God gave us an Amma to wear. USE IT

I found this article on Google AI

The full armor of God is found in the Holy Bible in Ephesians 6:10-18. The Apostle Paul wrote this passage to teach believers how to stand firm against spiritual battles by using six spiritual pieces of equipment representing truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and God’s word.

The Six Pieces of Armor

  • Belt of truth: Buckled around the waist, representing God’s absolute truth and integrity.
  • Breastplate of righteousness: Protecting the heart, symbolizing Christ’s righteousness protecting a believer’s moral character.
  • Feet fitted with readiness (Gospel of peace): Providing a firm, stable foundation and readiness to share the good news.
  • Shield of faith: Used to block and put out the flaming arrows or attacks of the enemy.
  • Helmet of salvation: Guarding the mind and thoughts with the assurance of eternal life in Christ.
  • Sword of the Spirit: The only active weapon listed, identified directly as the word of God.

Purpose and Application

  • Spiritual warfare: Paul reminds believers that their true struggle is not against other people (flesh and blood), but against unseen spiritual forces of evil.
  • Prayer: The passage concludes with an instruction to pray at all times and stay persistent in the Spirit.
  • You can read the complete text directly on Bible Gateway.

I’ll tailor my next response. Just tell me:

  • Specific Bible translation (like NIV, KJV, or ESV)
  • Detailed study of a single piece of armor
  • Practical daily application for spiritual growth
