Often times my mind....

never shuts down as I lay In my bed. In my bedroom struggling to fall asleep at night, almost as quickly as I laid down, I'm getting back up again because of restlessness, and a constant battle of the mind not knowing when to shut down. At the same time, I'm getting back up again. My mind is in a constant battle of knowing when to shut off. In the meantime, my mind is worrying about all my children's issues, and suddenly it switches from the children to my husband and what's going on with him. Soon after that it's on all the responsibilities that I have going on in my own life. During all these thoughts and feelings going on in my mind, finally I'm at a point to where I'm in tears, and praying to God that he will give me peace of mind, right away so that I can fall asleep. Hours go by, and I am finally able to rest and the mind shuts down. Then at last I can fall asleep peacefully.
