10 tips for faithful sleep-deprived living

Sleep is one of God's good gifts. Most of us chug though life without thinking much about it, which is usually a sign that we're getting enough. But for some of us, that blissful enjoyment of the half-regarded treasure we know as a ‘good night's sleep’ is shattered for some reason.

The effects of sleep deprivation are substantial. A lack of sleep overshadows all aspects of our lives, including how we go about seeking to follow and serve Christ Jesus. In order to be prayerful and diligent in serving God, we need to think about how we can ‘manage’ this condition, rather than become overwhelmed by it.

The list:
10. Trust God now
9. Don't resent it
8. Gratitude matters
7. Be godly by God's grace
6. Pray
5. Be governed by Scripture
4. Be wise
3. Be kind
2. Hope in heavenly rest
1. Grace conquers all

Read the whole thing here for an explanation of each of those points.
