Sleepless

Tossing and turning on my pillow is never fun. In fact, listening to all those quiet noices of the night with my mind racing through senerios of the day past or journey ahead seems to make me a little angry. But sometimes during my sleepless and restless nights it is not unpurposed. My Father which art in Heaven is wanting my attention. Yes, God shakes my heart and mind, holds my eyes open, makes my pillow unconfortable, just to bring me close to Him.

Early this morning God did just that again. He wanted to teach me about prayer. I was encouraged and challenged. I want to be all I can be for God. Prayer is the place for me to prove it. So after the lesson I decided that I need to work on my prayer life. If I truly love my Father, I need to tell Him more. I'm praying I will become a prayerful servant.

Father, thank you for the lesson. You know my heart but You want to hear my heart. I'll work on it! Love You! Paul

What if...

What if...

when I'm trying to get to sleep and I have friends I love on my mind, could it be that the Holy Spirit is prompting me to pray for them because they are in need or maybe they are praying for me at that very moment because of my need? I don't know but I do know that God knows. God knows everything. God knows what I need and God knows what my friends need. God knows our hearts. God knows how to get our attention too. Sleepless nights; sleep-less and pray-more nights!

1Th 5:6 "Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."

what if...You come tonight Lord?
