What a great way to use that verse – as an encouragement to frightened kids as well as tired parents! I will have to remember that one.

As a mother of 4 boys, that Hod never sleeps has always struck me as miraculous. I have taken comfort in it many times and used it with the boys during a season of terrifying nightmares… He is worthy to be Praised for this and all his blessings!

This is exactly how I first fell in love with this verse! When my now two-year-old was only days old and I was reacquainting myself with those long, early morning nursing sessions. When I stumbled across this verse my mouth literally fell open and it was amazing to me to realize that when I crawled back into bed desperate for a few hours of shut eye, God just kept right on rocking me and singing sweet lullabies over me.

It changed so many things for me!

Blessings on you both in the wee hours!

This post just spoke to me. Maybe it’s because, with a 4 week old, I am a walking zombie desperate for any stolen bit of sleep I can find. I love the idea of him singing over me…all through the night.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here… and apparently I have much catching up to do… but thank you for this sweet reminder, much like Zeph. 3:17… I will be thinking of this and savoring the idea that God is singing over me as I’m up nursing a sweet baby boy through the night

The comfort in imaging this, the way you so perfectly described and emphasized for us…it’s just humbling and exciting all at the same time. I needed this.

I’m so thankful that God never gets tired, worn out or too busy with my like I do so many times with my children. I could feel your exhaustion and oh boy, have I been there too. All mothers/parents have with their children. Just very, very thankful we serve a God who never sleeps!

Oooh, that’s a good word for me. I am NOT a nice person – or a good mama – when I’m woken up in the middle of the night!
