Sleepy minds make grumpy spirits

I don't know if the title is true for all people, but I know it's true for me. Sometimes anyway; right now in particular. When I'm sleepy, I tend to daydream, and then I get discontent. Everyone says dreams and wishes are good things that keep people going but sometimes I wonder about this supposed fact. Maybe it would help if all my dreams and wishes lay along the same path. I keep chasing different wishes on different days and then it feels like I'm running in circles. Just because none of them seem to go the same direction doesn't mean they won't though, so I should probably just stop worrying about it :S. Just keep "delighting in the Lord" and He will bring light to the path.
"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand." (Ps. 37:23-24)
"For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you'." (Isaiah 41:13)
Yeah, these verses don't guarantee that all my dreams will come true, but they do guarantee that even if I can't see what's going to happen next, God does. He's preparing the way and preparing my heart for the journey.
Anyway, bedtime! Maybe I won't be so grumpy tomorrow :).
