Melatonin is a hormone, naturally excreted from the pineal gland that regulates the sleep/wake cycle. Melatonin, the pill you purchase simulates that which may seemingly appear deficient (hormonally). My unscientific theorizing will insist (because of trust in Holy God’s rest guaranteed for the believer) that worry (from minimal to extreme measures) is the cause. There’s a pervasive, false narrative given man that has penetrated the souls of many, mandating that any should strive to become their own empowerment. Chants of “I can” may sound prudent to follow until I seek sleep (i.e. lights and camera off), whereby two-fold sufferings occurs; first, over-thinking scenarios that haven’t manifested that lacks confidence on whether I’m equipped, along with arrogance in my abilities, yielding nightmares from subliminal fear along with acid ridden foods I consumed before slumbering (cf. Jn.15:5).

Efforts lent (proportionately) unto every manuscript and discourse given by another man violates the All-Wise Savior’s desire to lead any desiring a peaceable journey. Will you follow?
