What if the reason you can’t find peace isn’t a missing habit but a misplaced trust? We open Proverbs, Psalm 91, and Job to explore why the wicked lose sleep, why believers can rest, and how Job dares to direct his anguish to God rather than to Satan. The throughline is bold: true rest is a fruit of right relationship—repentance toward God and reconciliation with others—not a stack of self-help tricks.

We wrestle with Job 7:14, where he says God terrifies him with dreams. That single verse pushes us into the heart of sovereignty: does God cause, or does He permit? We navigate the complexities without turning God into the author of sin, showing how Scripture presents Satan on a leash and God holding it. That framework reframes spiritual warfare. Instead of theatrical rebukes, James calls us to resist the devil and draw near to God. Job models this instinct by crying straight to the Lord who orders all things for His glory and our good.

Along the way, we confront modern idols—endless medicating, prosperity slogans, ego—and contrast them with the shelter of the Most High. We share a vulnerable exchange about correcting error and forgetting to pray for those who err, turning criticism into intercession and compassion. And we track how suffering moves us from knowing about God to knowing God, from information to communion. If your soul feels loud with anxiety, this conversation offers a steadier path: guard your heart, keep a tender conscience, and rest under the shadow of the Almighty, where even hard nights can give way to deeper trust.
