Psalms to Help You Sleep

Psalm 45 paints a beautiful picture of a kingly marriage. Some have speculated that this poem or song was written for Solomon's wedding or a later king, but the identity remains unknown. As we read it today, in 2025, more than two thousand years later, we read it in light of the New Testament.

Listen to how it can comfort our hearts tonight.

We all carry heavy things, but most of the time those things are invisible to everyone else.

Each week I'm reminded of how hard life can be. Everyone listening right now is carrying something heavy in their hearts. Everyone you pass on the street, sit next to in church, and even those we see on the televisions are all carrying a heavy weight of some sort. Listen to Psalm 43 to find out how big and how powerful God truly is today.

Night after night the darkness would creep inside my heart and I would lie awake crying - for no reason. I begged God for relief or even to give me a reason. Nothing changed and so I stopped praying for a time.

Like the author of Psalm 39, I thought maybe if I just stay silent things would be fine. I never ever talked about my depression with friends or family (other than my husband). I thought if I just didn't think about it or mention it, it wouldn't be real.

But anxiety and depression can't be ignored. You can't push the feelings down forever. Eventually I began to pray again about my depression. Listen to this week's episode to discover how a view of eternity actually helps give us hope at night.

Read Psalm 39 here.*
