- Review Your Day With God, Not With Regret: Before sleep, replay your day before God, not before emotions. Psalm 139:23–24 shows David asking God to search his heart. This act closes legal doors that the enemy uses through unresolved actions, words, or attitudes. When a day is judged in God’s presence, the night loses power to accuse.
- Release Forgiveness Deliberately: Never sleep with bitterness in your spirit. Ephesians 4:26 says, ” Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath. Unforgiveness invites night oppression and dream pollution. Forgiveness disarms spiritual access points and restores peace to the soul before rest.
- Speak Scripture Over Your Sleep: Do not lie down in silence. Seal the night with the Word. Psalm 4:8 declares I will both lie down in peace and sleep for You Lord make me dwell in safety. Scripture spoken aloud becomes a boundary in the spirit. It programs the atmosphere your body will rest in.
- Commit Your Dreams To God Intentionally: Ask God to speak or to keep silence according to His will. Job 33:15–16 shows God speaking through dreams and visions of the night. When dreams are committed, instruction becomes clear and intrusion becomes illegal. You sleep under authority, not vulnerability.
- Disconnect Your Soul FROM Noise: Withdraw from unnecessary conversations, screens, and emotional stimulation. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” What your soul feeds on before sleep often becomes what your spirit processes during sleep. Stillness before rest preserves clarity and depth in the night.
Child of God, sleep is not rest alone. It is a transition. When these five things are done, you do not just sleep, you enter custody. Custody of peace, instruction, and divine covering. The night will no longer work against you, it will begin to work for you.
shalom!
