Before You Go To Sleep You think of yourself too much

           Before You Go To Sleep


              You think of yourself too much. What do you say to yourself
         when you awake each morning’? Is it “How do I feel today?” “Did
         I get enough sleep?’ “What will I do’?” Don't consult your body.
         your mind or your emotions.

              Your body is at low ebb so you must he on guard or what
         your body tells you will he true the rest of the day. Many of my
         people lose it right there. They haven't guarded their mind from
         this sense of indefinable dread.

              What you do just before you go to sleep is very important.
         Do you fall asleep rehearsing your problems or counting your
         blessings’? You know to put my word first place in your life but do
         you make the last place at night’?

              The night is often a battlefield, because the works of darkness
         cannot stand the light of day.

             Before you go to sleep. clear your conscience of even the
         slightest offense and forgive all who have offended you. Meditate
         on my word or let a song rise from your heart. Let yourself be
         happy. Don’t take on anybody’s problems but your own. Those are
         the only ones you can give to me.

              I keep the night watch and I bring the dawn. Let yourself
         awake with expectation of our new day together.
