When I was very young I used to read Walt Disney comic books. At the
back of one of these comic books I found this prayer which I have not
forgotten till today, years later. It is very simple and I think
everyone should offer it, or at least think of its purport:
"AS I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP,
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE,
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE."
"AS I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP,
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE,
I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE."
So many people take it for granted that when they go to sleep they
shall be alive when they wake up, or whether they will wake up at all.
Anyone's heart can stop at any time, such is its structure. It may just stop with a long pause or with its rhythm going wrong.
According to Wiki-Answers, 89,000 persons die in their sleep every day. This works out to 89,000 X 365 = 32,485,000 persons per year!! which is not a small number.
Is it not a miracle that the Same Power that takes you into the world of dreams, wakes you up in the middle of your dreams and brings you back to the world of the living in the morning!
Rather than worry about the daily problems that plague your life, it would be much better to just thank God that you are alive in the morning, first thing you get up
