The Lord gives sleep
to those He loves, were we reminded. (Psalm 127:2).
I think the Lord also
loves the insomniac...
We retired after this prayer by John of Dalyutha, an 8th c. mountain hermit in the region of modern Iraq:
We retired after this prayer by John of Dalyutha, an 8th c. mountain hermit in the region of modern Iraq:
"If you are tired and worn out
by your labors for your Lord,
place your head upon His knee and rest awhile.
Recline upon his breast (John.13:23)
breathe in the fragrant spirit of life,
and allow life to permeate your being.
Rest upon him, for he is a table of refreshment (Ps. 23:5)
that will serve you for the food of the divine Father."
Good night all!
