A few days ago, I felt weighed down by this illness, my only comfort was knowing that at night sometimes God speaks to me through dreams, so I couldn’t wait for the day to end, just so I could go to bed. God’s Spirit is always with us, even when we are sleeping (Heb 13:5, Ps 121:4, Joel 2:28). Sometimes during the night; I wake up with awful itching sensations, since I can’t scratch them without the help of my hands, I have to mentally block out these urges. During these times, God gives me scriptures like Ps 127:4 “He gives His beloved sleep” and Jonah 2:8 “They that regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy”

My body always wants to be appeased and is constantly needy whether I need to scratch an itch or manage bodily functions. God will always be merciful to us in our night seasons if we focus on Him as the source of our satisfaction and not our problems.
