Before we go to bed, we constructively review our day allowing the Holy Spirit to search our heart. Were we resentful, angry, selfish, disturbed, dishonest or afraid. Have we kept something to ourselves that we should have discussed with another, or led to do something we did not do?
Were we kind and loving toward everyone we met. What could we have done better? Were we thinking of ourselves most of the time or what we could do for others, how we could make the world a better place in which we live.
But we must be careful not to drift into worry, condemnation, remorse or morbid reflection. That is not constructive and diminishes our usefulness to others.
After taking our inventory of the day we ask God for forgiveness and ask what corrective measures should be taken.
Never go to sleep being depressed, troubled, stressed, fearful, regretful, do not go to sleep with the devil. But go to sleep peaceful with your mind stayed on the Lord, grateful.
If you go to bed filled with the Spirit, God will visit you in your sleep, or you will get a good nights rest.
