13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13 ESV
I recently read an article about "Trump-induced insomnia". The article went on to recount the situation of several people who have been unable to get a good night's sleep since Trump was elected. One woman, Ariane Zurcher, reported, "I’m 56 years old. I have never had insomnia or issues with sleeping until this.”
While I admit that the election of Donald Trump has given many around the globe cause for concern, to blame him for insomnia seems a bit drastic. In fact to blame any outside factor for insomnia would seem to fly in the face of today's verse.
God is a god of hope. He is our hope for today and the future. We should not allow external situations rob us of joy, peace, and hope. As Christians Paul reminds us that through the "power of the Holy Spirit" we may "abound in hope".
I wonder if the people mentioned in the article have a personal, life-changing, hope-giving relationship with Jesus Christ. If not, that would be the first and foremost insomnia cure.
