Judging from the responses of several friends to my blog on insomnia, I didn't invent this idea of using awake time at night for praying for others. My friend, Beth, suggested that perhaps we ought to form an Insomniacs Anonymous support group with a meeting time of 2 a.m. My friend, Mary, a potential member of the above mentioned club, says, tongue in cheek, that when she prays for me (in the middle of the night, of course), she is conflicted as to whether to pray for or against my insomnia.
I am writing this entry at 3:01 a.m. Out of consideration for my soundly sleeping husband I won't transfer it to my computer until a more reasonable hour, but please know that if you woke up this morning especially refreshed and feeling loved, you were prayed for during the night :)
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."-Colossians 4:2 (NKJV)
Thank you Barbara for praying for me during the night. I feel refreshed and loved. Namju :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear this, Namju! In fact, you were the first person I prayed for, just proving that prayer is not affected by distance:)
DeleteOh...thank you again! Praise our omnipresent God!
DeleteThanks, Barb, but your prayer woke me up right at 5 am. Please ask your messengers to adjust for daylight savings.
ReplyDeleteNo complaints, actually, because I liked being awake so early to worry about (pray for) others.
Love, j
Dang! I am forever doing that to you!
DeleteYour comments always result in smiles...if not outright chuckles :)
Love you.
