Sweet Dreams

I find that when I'm going through a rough time, my dreams reflect it and I wake up in the morning feeling very discouraged and overwhelmed. As I was going to bed last night, I remembered a scripture in the Book of Mormon in the book of Alma chapter 37, verse 37 "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day".  I also remembered a part of an 18th century child's prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep."  I asked in my prayer that the Lord would watch over me. I woke up this morning and felt better than I have for a long time.
