I am sitting here reading your post and it is 1 AM. This is not really unusual accept for the time. I usually wake in the middle of the night. It is like someone giving me a nudge to get up. For the longest time I would just turn the TV on until I would fall back to sleep. Then I began to pray. A people from around the world will come to mind with specific needs. Often I will email the person and tell them I am praying for such and such. They will write back and ask how I knew they had such a need or facing such a problem.

One night during the Viet Nam War period I woke up with tears rolling down my face. I could see children screaming for someone to save them. I could here the mortars and smell the explosives. I prayed until peace came, then I went back to sleep. A few days later I saw a picture in a newspaper of the same children and the story how a marine unit saved them from certain death.

This happens all the time. Almost every night I gladly get up and pray. In the still of the night it is just me in God. The distractions are gone. I look forward to communicating with Him. Peaceful I go back to sleep and wake up refreshed.

By the way, we gave away our TV some time ago. Have you ever gone to visit someone and the TV is blaring? You can’t pray either.
