Sleep in Heavenly Peace
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.—Acts 1:9 (NIV)
In this scripture, and in different passages throughout the Bible, clouds symbolize divine presence. Other examples are when Moses ascended Mount Sinai and a cloud covered the mountain, or at Solomon’s dedication when a cloud filled the temple. The next cloudy day, pause to reflect on God’s use of clouds to remind us of His presence and to feel His comfort when it is overcast.
Heavenly Father, help me feel Your presence, in both cloudy and cloudless skies.

In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.—Psalm 4:8 (NIV)

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.—Philippians 4:11 (NIV)
