When thou liest down, thou shall not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. -- PROV.3:24. There arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety. -- He giveth his beloved sleep. They stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. -- Absent from the body, . . . present with the Lord. Mark.4:37,38.Phi.4:6,8.Psa.4:8. -Psa.127:2.Acts 7:59,60. -II Cor.5:8. |
