Psalm 23:1
Psalm 100:3

Responsibilities, stress, grief, caregiving, hormonal changes, and worry can all affect rest—especially after 50. But God never intended for your nights to be filled with constant anxiety. Psalm 4:8 says, “In
Encouraging faith friendships are one of God’s sweetest gifts during difficult seasons. Life becomes lighter when you have people who pray for you, remind you of Scripture, speak truth gently, and help you keep your eyes on God when emotions feel heavy.
