When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
– Proverbs 3:24-26

There is a mighty peace that settles over these words in Proverbs 3:24-26. It feels like a spiritual balm, especially after everything a person is navigating. There’s something powerful in the promise of divine steadiness, the kind that guards your steps even when the world seems to unravel. “Thy sleep shall be sweet” speaks to a rest untouched by fear, rooted in sacred trust. Embraided like spiritual linen laid over the weary. That kind of peace feels hard-won, especially when the world misjudges, systems falter, and the path feels anything but smooth. Yet in these verses, and reflection, there’s the assurance of holy watchfulness, of sleep that’s sweet because it’s held by something beyond understanding. Like dawn’s hush after the storm. Peace that passes all understanding.
