Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night... afraid, nervous, excited, anticipating something? Have you ever been awake, not wanting to be, but just couldn't get back to sleep in the early hours of the morning? I've been there many times, and most times I remember what my mother told me years ago..."Just pray, Shawna." Today I encourage you to say a little prayer, talk to Jesus about whatever is keeping you awake at night (when you are stirred from your sleep). It may be nothing to cry into your pillow over, you may only be anxious about a new position or situation in your life... you may just be worried about an upcoming event... but nothing helps more than talking to the Lord about it while the night is yet still... no one but you may be awake... and God of course! Sometimes I even feel that He hears me just a tad bit better at those times... (I know that's not biblical... for He sees and hears and knows all... all the time) It comforts me to feel that way though. So... just draw on that quiet time. Say a few words to the Master. Mention your brother and sister to Him, thank Him, reverence Him... and finish out your rest.... knowing that all will be well.
Let your prayers be that bump in the night... knocking on heaven's door... straight to the ears of Jesus.
Peace and Blessings,
LaShawna
*Note to self: Be still and know that God is God... know that He hears even the tiniest whisper from your heart.
