Are you lying awake replaying what someone said or did to you? When the hurt comes from someone close to you, it can be difficult to settle your thoughts—even when you’re exhausted.

Tonight, get comfortable and join me for a Bible bedtime story as I read Genesis 37. We’ll meet Joseph, a young man whose own brothers hated him, and pause together to reflect on the rejection, jealousy, and betrayal unfolding in his life.

This is the beginning of Joseph’s story. We’re making room for honest questions about what it means to hold onto God when the people closest to you hurt you—and whether peace is still possible in circumstances you never wanted.

If sleep anxiety, exhaustion, or sleep deprivation has been weighing on you, let this Scripture reading and sleep meditation be a gentle invitation to turn your attention toward God tonight. If you’ve been searching for “night prayer Christian” encouragement, you’re welcome here, too.

Get under the covers, gently place your head on your pillow, and let’s begin.
