A fun video of my wife and I opening the box containing my eighth book, Stress Less: 9 Habits from the Bible and Brain Science to Build Resilience and Reduce Anxiety:)

Sleepless Night? At 3 a.m., problems often feel bigger than are. Psalm 77 describes a sleepless Asaph who eventually turns his attention from distress to God's faithfulness. Rumination rehearses our fears. Prayer entrusts them to God. Not every problem needs solving tonight.

On the way in an ambulance -am having a serious heart attack. Appreciate your prayers.

We cannot force ourselves to sleep. We can only create the conditions for rest and release what we cannot control. “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 You can stop working because God has not. #SleepLikeJesus

Do you Bargain with Sleep? You usually can’t fix a week of poor sleep with one long weekend sleep-in. God built rhythm into creation: evening and morning, work and rest. Your brain’s body clock loves consistency too. Better sleep is often built one ordinary night at a time.

God built rhythm into creation. Day and night. Work and rest. Light and darkness. Your brain has a master clock that responds to those rhythms. Better sleep often begins when we stop fighting God’s design and start living with it. #Sleep #SleepLikeJesus

Poor sleep can create a neurological double whammy: You want the reward more. And your tired prefrontal cortex may be less able to say no. Sometimes tomorrow’s self-control begins with tonight’s sleep. Proverbs 25:28

Problems often look bigger when we're tired. Sleep loss can magnify threat and shrink our ability to see alternatives. Before turning a late-night worry into tomorrow's crisis, pray about it—and sleep on it. Sometimes wisdom looks like waiting until morning. #Sleep #insomnia

Sleeping well? The Bible describes sleep as "sweet," like honey. One Hebrew word in the Old Testament emphasizes peaceful rest. Another emphasizes satisfying rest after faithful work. God designed us to experience His sweet sleep. How are you doing? #Sleep #SleepLikeJesus
