Jesus said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray for strength against temptation- Luke 22:46
Most of us have been woken up in the middle of the night. Most of the time for me it’s around 3am. Honestly, sometimes I do go back to sleep. But other times I feel the need to read my bible or just pray. I know there’s a reason and sometimes I don’t know what I’m supposed to pray about, so I’ll just talk to Jesus about whatever comes to my mind.
The world tries to paint this as a demonic thing completely. I don’t believe that to be true. Jesus did not gift us with the spirit of fear and anxiety. We have the power to walk in His spirit and to wear the armor of God confidently. Always knowing He is always with us in the night and day.
Psalms 63:6 says, “I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night”. Jesus is always on my mind day and night. While I sleep, He has spoken to me in my dreams. So, these moments have become special for me because it seems like it makes our relationship stronger. Most of the time the night is the only time I am still enough for Him to reach me.
Heavenly Father, Thank You for blessing us with your son Jesus and allowing Him to be the bridge for us to know you. I pray that you continue to reveal yourself to us everyday, and allow us to not follow what our flesh wants but what our spirit is telling us we need. In Jesus name, Amen.
