SWEET SLEEP WITH JESUS | Exhaustion, Sleep Deprivation, Night Prayer Christian, Relax, Sleep Meditation

Is your mind racing the moment your head hits the pillow? Are you exhausted but terrified you won’t have the energy to function tomorrow? Do you ever wonder why everyone else seems to rest easily but you can’t? Are you afraid this cycle of anxious thoughts and mental chaos will never end?

If you whispered ‘yes’ to any of that, you’re in the right place.

This podcast will help you calm your racing thoughts, step into spiritual authority, and find deep, consistent sleep so you can rest fully and sleep with confidence again.

Hey! I’m Emem, your future friend and a passionate Jesus lover. About fifteen years ago, I went through the most tormenting season of my life — I could not sleep.

Night after night my mind raced. I was anxious and terrified. Nothing I tried worked — not teas, not medicine, not routines, not forcing myself to ‘just relax.’ I felt helpless, hopeless, exhausted, and honestly… I felt like I was going crazy.

Through the help of the Holy Spirit, I finally realized that peace had already been given to me — and the enemy had stolen it.

I learned how to stand in my spiritual authority and take my peace back. With the truth of God’s Word and the authority He gave me, I went from hopeless, afraid, and mentally exhausted to restored in peace, anchored in joy, renewed in my mind, and sleeping sweetly.

Pajamas on, lights low, worries off — welcome to sweet sleep with Jesus.

In this inspiring episode, the host courageously shares her personal journey of surrendering her dreams and timeline to God. With raw vulnerability, she recounts feeling inadequate and clinging to her one talent of singing as her purpose in life. However, when God called her to fully surrender her dreams, she experienced deep fear and reluctance. Ultimately, as she chose to release control and trust God's timing and plan, she discovered her true gifts and talents blossomed in unexpected ways. The host offers encouragement to anyone feeling the nudge of God to surrender their dreams and timeline. She urges listeners to trust that God's ways are higher and his plans are exceedingly better than we can imagine. Releasing fear and comparison frees us to live in peace and abundance.

The message is simple: take your shot, step out in faith. The doing is the hard part. Stepping out in faith for a lot of us is as scary and can feel almost impossible as walking on water. Not only is it difficult and filled with many obstacles to overcome -- specifically, it can be quite lonely making it altogether impossible not to quit on your God-given assignment.
In this episode, Emem Joy Emah & Bri'on Whiteside share their raw, authentic and beautiful faith journeys inspiring listeners to obey God. All God needs is your obedience.
