Proper rest and sleep is important to your body. We are tri-partite, in that we are spirit, soul, and body. Satan has often used disruption of sleep as weapon against God's servant. Fear often becomes a factor in sleeplessness. Unrest will effect every area of your total man.
Man often faces fears in sleeplessness. You can become very vulnerable when you are deprived of sleep. If you are fighting this battle, the first thing to do is to take every thought captive. Read the word, speak the word, apply the blood, and get yourself into a peaceful atmosphere where you can set your mind on Christ. You have power in the Word and Spirit to overcome all fear. God will give you sleep and rest when your mind is stayed on him.
You might also get a trusted person to pray with you. Agreement is powerful. Trust in the Lord. You are his beloved, and he will give you rest.
Psa 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Psa 127:2 [It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Sleep is a gift of God. If you have been sleepless, thank the Lord for His gift of rest, you will see it return. Trust Him, He will do it.
