Today, we will talk about a big question: Will we need to sleep in heaven?
Here on Earth, we need to sleep. Sleep helps us feel better and gives us energy. Sometimes, it is hard to sleep at night because we are worried or too busy. But, when we wake up in the morning, we feel fresh and ready for the new day.
When we go from living here to being with God forever, the Bible doesn’t say exactly what will happen. We know that some things, like being married, will be different in heaven (Matthew 22:30). But, the Bible doesn’t tell us everything, like if we will sleep. This can make us curious or worried, but we can feel safe by trusting God even when we don’t know everything.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” – Revelation 21:4
Consider this: the promise of Revelation 21:4 assures us that in God’s presence, all that troubles us now will be gone. While we don’t have explicit knowledge about sleep in heaven, we do have a rock-solid promise of eternal peace and rest.
Think about this: Revelation 21:4 in the Bible tells us that when we are with God, all the things that make us sad or worried now will be gone. We don’t know if we will sleep in heaven, but we do know that we will feel happy and calm forever.
Faith is like an anchor that keeps us safe when everything is scary and uncertain. Even if we don’t know everything right now, faith keeps us hopeful and trusting in God’s love and wisdom.
When we go through our day, we often feel unsure about what will happen. But we should remember that God gives us true rest and makes us feel better. Every night, when we go to bed, let’s give our worries to Him. We should remember that He gives us peace forever.

Welcome to a special place where we think about God as the day ends. We believe every evening is a chance to think about our day and be thankful. Our goal is to give you a calm place to feel close to God.
At Sacred Evenings, we are a group of people who love to share the beauty of quiet moments with God. We have stories, devotional, short prayers, and thoughts that help you think about God. We want you to feel the magic of every evening.
Our journey is based on the Bible verse, “Be still, and know that I am God…” (Psalm 46:10). We invite you to stop, breathe, and find God as the day ends. When the sun goes down and it gets quiet, we believe these evenings are a gift. They remind us of God’s love and invite us to be closer to Him.
Join us on this journey of faith and thinking deeply. Whether you need help, comfort, or a quiet moment, you are welcome here. Let’s enjoy these special evenings together, as we get closer to God and each other.
