Wow Bethany! Thank you. SO many great thoughts and questions. I really do struggle to lean happily into sleep when I should most nights as I feel there's always more I 'should' be doing to complete my day.
In light of this temptation I face, I've always been challenged at how on in John 17.4 Jesus could say to Father he had *finished/completed* (teleos) all the work had been given...yet there were people not healed, not free, nor living in peace with God and their fellow humans all around him.
"There is a connection between the vulnerability of sleep and our trust in God." I've never thought of it that way. Woah. (And goodnight.)

Thanks! Yes, John 17v4 is such a challenging verse.
