My daughter has always been an early bird, has never been good with naps and has never seemed to need much sleep. She gets up now between 6:30 and 7:00 every morning.

Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well.

I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today. I'm praying that I to would...
