I tried meditating and I tried praying. I just can't stop my brain re-running certain issues that I am dealing with right now, and it's robbing me of much needed sleep.

Hi ShortofTime
I would suggest allowing yourself to face the re-running issues head on. Try looking at them as if you are a third party who is observing. Don't judge, don't even try to figure out what to do next (that will come to you in its time), just acknowledge them and then just let them go. It's not the issues themselves that keep you up but rather the attachments to them in your mind. Trust me, it works!

Peace,
James
