I lay awake; my mind is racing
Questions pursue me without end
I search my soul to find the answers
Another sleepless night; I’ll spend
I watch the clock; hours lost in darkness
My rest tonight; I will not find
My body fights; tossing and turning
As worry and anxiety entrap my mind
I search for peace; a drop of comfort
I pray to God; His touch I’ll feel
To be lost in Him; to hear His voice
To trust in Him; proof my faith is real
I should lay my worry and stress before Him
I should trust that I fight no battle alone
That He will provide if I trust him wholly
He has an answer to every question I own
I seek comfort and wisdom from my Father in heaven
I pray for release…from the troubles I bear
I pray to sleep as night slips before me
Praying His peace and comfort I’ll share
Sleep eludes me still; as I attempt to hear Him
As I stare into darkness; searching for His light
It is hard to silence the worry within me
As I struggle to surrender the outcome of this fight
I lay awake…knowing I have no answers
I lay awake knowing I should trust in Him
I lay awake overtaken by my emotion
I lay awake…counting the hours again
