But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

"Are you in the habit of going to bed at an early hour so that you can get about eight hours' sleep each night? Or do you stay up late trying to "entertain" yourself when you should be sleeping? If you're not getting enough rest, you're asking for trouble.

God intends that all His children, including you, lead joyous lives filled with abundance and peace. Physical exhaustion is God's way of telling us to slow down. God expects us to work hard, but He also intends for us to rest. When we fail to take the rest that we need, we do a disservice to ourselves and to our families. We live in a world that tempts us to stay up late -very late. But too much late night TV, combined with too little sleep is a prescription for exhaustion, and it's a prescription that you should avoid. Don't find yourself running short on energy, short on patience, and short on perspective. Turn your thoughts and your prayers to God. When you're finished, it's probably time to turn off the lights and go to bed!"
