  So here's a question. When was the last time you had a good night's sleep?
• 0:05
  When was the last time you were not tossing and turning, you went to sleep,
• 0:12
  and you woke up, and you felt like you were rejuvenated?
• 0:16
  You felt as if you had slept for days.
• 0:20
  That's what happened to me finally last night. Have faith, let it begin.
• 0:25
  Having a good night rest is so important. Starts right now.
• 0:31
  Have faith, let it begin. And it starts right now.
• 0:37
  Welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin. Here's your host, Angel Santana.
• 0:44
  Ariel, can you say Have faith. Let it begin. Let it begin. Have faith.

  Okay. Hi, Noah. Noah.
• 1:00
  Happy birthday, Noah. Say that on NBC. That's what does that sound.
• 1:09
  Noah. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it sound. This little light
• 1:15
  of mine, I'm going to let it shine.
• 1:19
  This little light of rain, I'm going to let it shine. Let it shine.
• 1:25
  Let it shine. Let it shine. Yeah.
• 1:30
  Daddy, I'm so excited. But I have one question. What's your question?
• 1:35
  I'm going to be a pastor or a minister.
• 1:37
  Good question. I don't know, but it is all in God's hands. Good morning.
• 1:42
  You're listening to Have Faith Let Begin, and it starts right now.
• 1:47
  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith Let It Begin.
• 1:51
  Today is May 15th, 2025.
• 1:56
  Yeah, many of you are probably clapping right now.
• 1:59
  I know. I know I was. I woke up this morning, and as soon as I opened my eyes,
• 2:05
  this is what I felt like I heard. Oh, God.
• 2:11
  Music.
• 2:17
  That's what i felt like i heard i heard cheering i
• 2:20
  heard clapping and i smiled because i
• 2:23
  finally got some sleep that's right sleep finally
• 2:26
  came good seven hours of sleep
• 2:29
  i've been averaging maybe two to three sometimes two
• 2:32
  at most four but recently about
• 2:35
  two hours of sleep and yeah it catches up
• 2:38
  to you of course but when you finally get
• 2:40
  some sleep you feel as if your mind
• 2:43
  is at ease when you wake up less stress and of
• 2:47
  course for me it doesn't help it does help it does help actually
• 2:50
  the fact that i am off today so that
• 2:53
  does play a factor but when you finally get that sleep you have this clear mindset
• 3:00
  that you can take on the world and then it got me thinking almost immediately
• 3:06
  as jesus took human form and he knew what was coming how did he sleep.
• 3:13
  How did his disciples sleep?
• 3:16
  How did they sleep knowing what was coming?
• 3:20
  How did they sleep after they saw and bear witness to his crucifixion on the cross?
• 3:27
  Walking Cody, he's handling his business right now. So you can hear a caper
• 3:31
  in the background because that's my job. I had to clean up after him.
• 3:34
  But my question is, how that must have felt like to know that the person that
• 3:43
  you have been following, your mentor, your Lord and Savior.
• 3:49
  Was crucified, was put in a tomb, and for three days, you wonder what was next.
• 3:58
  How often do we worry about what happens the next day?
• 4:04
  What's gonna happen the next week? What's gonna happen the next hour?
• 4:08
  Is that what keeps us up at night?
• 4:10
  You know, I'm writing a sermon called God is with us always,
• 4:15
  or God is always with us. I haven't finalized it yet,
• 4:18
  I'm starting to understand that when you feel and you think and you know all
• 4:24
  these things, you know, for us, we don't have to have those doubts.
• 4:30
  We know the story. We know who Jesus is.
• 4:33
  We know what he's capable of. And we know that he's a part of our lives if we allow him to, right?
• 4:42
  We do not worry. We shouldn't worry.
• 4:45
  We shouldn't have the stress that we do because he's with us always.
• 4:51
  So how is it that many of us struggle with the sleep that we do? Well, it could be bills.
• 4:58
  It could be maybe fighting with your spouse. Maybe you're having issues at work.
• 5:03
  Maybe you are still missing someone who has been called home to be with the Lord.
• 5:08
  I know that when I lost my two grandmothers and when my wife lost her father, we didn't sleep much.
• 5:16
  Because it was a time of mourning. It was a time of pain and sorrow and loss.
• 5:22
  All I kept doing at that moment was reiterating that they have gone home,
• 5:28
  that we should be celebrating and honoring all the time that we had with them.
• 5:34
  Trust me, I know that is very easier said than done.
• 5:37
  Trust me when I tell you it's not easy to even say those words when you know
• 5:41
  another person is hurting, especially when they have the faith that they do.
• 5:46
  But we have to remember that the pain that we feel here is temporary because
• 5:55
  God has a better plan for those, for us, and for the future.
• 6:01
  So if you're struggling with your sleep, if you're not sure how to overcome
• 6:06
  your small insomnia, I'm going to share with you what I do.
• 6:11
  When I have that problem, I go onto YouTube and I type in the instrumental version of Amazing Grace.
• 6:18
  I play that and I never get through it because I fall fast asleep.
• 6:22
  As it's playing, I usually use the Lord's prayer like this. Our Father,
• 6:28
  Lord in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
• 6:31
  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 6:36
  Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our
• 6:41
  debtors. Lead us on to temptation.
• 6:44
  Deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
• 6:52
  May the good Lord be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each
• 6:58
  and every single one of you peace on earth. May you get great sleep.
• 7:03
  May you be at peace. and may God continue to be a huge part of all that you
• 7:09
  do every second, every minute, every hour, and every day.
• 7:15
