Psalms to Help You Sleep
Welcome to the Psalms to Help You Sleep podcast with Sarah Frazer and Jennifer Holmes. If you struggle to fall asleep at night or go through your day fighting anxiety and depression pull up a chair. Psalms is a book that gives us permission to feel but also to hear. In the Psalms we find recognition and clarity because each of the psalmists gives an honest voice to our deepest struggles. They also give us a chance to hear another voice: that of our caring and ever-present Father. This is the voice we need to hear in the middle of the night when despair keeps us awake. The voice of God can sing us back to sleep. Join us as we read through a psalm, share a short devotional, and end in prayer. Take a breath. Let’s begin.

Psalm 29 reminds us that the universe is big and creation is complex. But God is bigger and wiser than we could ever imagine. In Psalm 29 we see that the image of God is one of both strength and presence. God is in the BIG things and God is in the SMALL things. He is over many waters but he is also with the deer when she gives birth. What an amazingly powerful and person God we see here.
