Colossians 3:15 English Standard Version (ESV) And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

VOTD is verse of the day, from Biblegateway.

Not today. Being sleep deprived makes it very difficult to maintain peace in the heart. Praying doesn’t seem to help. There are too many little annoyances one after the other after the other.

That does not give us any right to take it out on others. It must be someone’s fault. That is the flesh reacting poorly, even if it is true.

We are all called into one body so if one part suffers the whole body suffers but it isn’t fair to inflict our pain on others.

At this time perhaps the peace of Christ is being given the strength to not scream.

The resolve to do even normal routines is weakened due to lack of sleep. Quality of effort shows lack of sleep. Perhaps the peace of Christ when sleep deprived is making the effort even when you do not feel like it.

In season and out of season, right?

Maybe we are not alone in all this.
