No Rest for the Unfinished
When God Won’t Let You Sleep
There are nights where rest escapes you.
Not because your body isn’t tired—
but because your spirit knows you haven’t finished what you were assigned.
You toss.
You turn.
But deep down, you already understand:
You didn’t close the chapter today.
God doesn’t always let you sleep peacefully
when the mission is still incomplete.
He’s not punishing you—He’s refining you.
This discomfort you feel?
It’s a signal.
A call to examine your actions,
tighten your discipline,
and earn the peace you’re asking for.
So if your eyes are still wide open tonight,
ask yourself:
Did you truly give all you had?
Maybe rest isn’t what you need.
Maybe what you need
is to move.
~ Praise God
