I started having nightmares when I was around 12 years old. They were so bad that I couldn’t sleep at night without nightmares or night terrors. I was only able to sleep in the mornings so I would wake up very late. This went on for several years even till I entered a higher institution. And of course, my grades were badly affected, I was barely getting by in school.
I prayed and prayed to God but didn’t see any change. All the while, I was a leader in my fellowship, but only a few knew what was happening to me. Then one day, I just got so distressed and tired, so I told God I was leaving school and fellowship and wouldn’t come back except something changed. And it did!
God reached out to me through someone who encouraged me and said that God had heard my prayers, and I just needed to follow a specific instruction which was to sow a seed. I did so, and kept praying.
A week after this, the nightmares stopped. My grades started improving remarkably and I graduated from school. Now I sleep comfortably and soundly through the night. Indeed, he gives his beloved sleep!
