The Father says today, I give My beloved rest so close your eyes and rest! Sweet sleep is My gift to you, and I keep the cares of the night while you rest. You have carried the burdens of the day long enough. The unfinished concerns can wait until morning for beloved remember this: I work while you sleep. I don’t close My eyes, and I do not look away when you aren’t paying attention. Lay down the argument you have been having with tomorrow’s worries. Lay down the replay of what was said and who said it. Your body needs the dark hours, and I give them to you without a lecture. Close your eyes. Breathe out the stress and breathe in My people. I am more near while you than hands or feet, closer than the thoughts that try to pull you back awake. The night is not empty. My watch is over you, over the people under your roof, and over the matters you cannot touch until the sun returns.

The Father is speaking to you.

When you wake, you will not have to rush around to gather the troubles of the night back into your own hands and your own control. I kept care of those things all night and imagine that – without your help. The hours you slept were not wasted, and the hours you only rested were not about waking to failure. Rise up joyfully when it is time, and take the day I have already entered ahead of you. If you wake in the middle of the night, speak My name and lie back down. You do not have to solve a problem at two in the morning. I am tending what you cannot see. Trust Me with the people you love while you are off duty. Morning will come with enough light for the next step. Until then, rest. My peace guards your mind, and My care does not clock out when you do.
