Scriptures On Sleep
In the name of Jesus, I bind you Satan, and all your agents from my dreams. I forbid you to interfere in any way with my sleep. I bring every thought, every imagination, and every dream into the captivity and obedience of Jesus Christ. Father, I thank you that even as I sleep my heart counsels me and reveals to me your purpose and plan. Thank you for sweet sleep, for you promised your beloved sweet sleep. Therefore, my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices. My body and soul rest and confidently dwell in safety. Amen.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
