You can go to sleep with unfinished work. God stays up.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Not everything has to be resolved before you stop for the night. Lying awake with unfinished work rarely advances it, and the sense that vigilance is holding the situation together is usually an illusion produced by tiredness. The picture offered is of something still being attended to while you are not attending to it.

Write down what is unfinished so your mind can stop rehearsing it, then leave the list until morning. Say the worry out loud in prayer rather than in circles. Sleep is part of the work, not a break from it.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

What keeps you up that would still be there at breakfast?
