A prayer request

Dear friends,

I (Chantal) have a prayer request that I haven't shared here before, but recently I decided that I really should share it and ask for prayer.

Since last fall, I have had insomnia. Some weeks more than others (up to a few nights per week), I am unable to sleep until 2, 3 or even 5 a.m. This really affects me during the day since I feel tired, groggy and cannot function properly. It also puts a burden on Derek since he has to help take care of Evan when I'm tired. I saw a doctor about this and other issues last October, but he just said the usual: do more exercise, relax, don't drink caffeine, etc. (I am doing that!) He also said I couldn't take sleep aids since I am still nursing, but I would not want to be dependent on those anyway.

This problem has been lingering for quite a while already, but it has been worse in the last two weeks. Please pray that God would heal me of this problem or help me find and address its root. I appreciate your prayers!
