My wife is usually a very nervous person, and in these times that we live, she is even more so.

Due to the dire economic crisis and the fear of contagion from "Covid-19", his thoughts turn very negative and it is as if he were injected with high levels of stress and anguish. All of this makes him such an uncomfortable night that he loses sleep. Everything agitates and worries him. She lives very overwhelmed and very concerned with the children, who takes care of them in a very exaggerated way, which leads her to spend the whole day very agitated. I try as much as possible to calm her down, but the so much pressure of the situation humanity is experiencing at the moment, afflicts her so much.

I have to resort to the word of God to inject him with a dose of confidence so that he can spend the night calm and can fall asleep.

One of the biblical passages that I read to her to generate confidence, is Psalm 4, it is a biblical text very adapted to her situation. The word says that only God makes us live with confidence. As a Christian we cannot drift away from what is happening in the world, but rather trust what the Lord says in his word.

We must believe what God says. Trust in God helps us to be calm and helps us lie down relaxed, believing that God takes control of our emotions and thoughts. If we let negative thoughts control us, surely we are going to have a hectic night and we are not going to be able to close our eyes calmly.

God promises us that if we put our trust in Him, we will go to bed in peace. This is a great truth and I believe it.

We have done this exercise, and my wife is already relaxing, she is calmer and her sleep is now deeper, because only God makes us live with confidence.
