Prayer List: Millions of People Struggle With Insomnia

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. – Psalm 4:8 NIV

Insomnia is a widespread problem. Wikipedia reports, “Between 10% and 30% of adults have insomnia at any given point in time and up to half of people have insomnia in a given year.”

According to the Sleep Foundation, “Most adults have had some trouble sleeping because they feel worried or nervous, but for some it’s a pattern that interferes with sleep on a regular basis.”

For people struggling with insomnia, there is hope. Proverbs 3:24 says, “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.”
