Dear friend
Beautiful, simply beautful. I was one night very astounded to wake up in the middle of the night praying, I could hear a voice praying to God and then I realised in my half stupour that it was me praying in my sleep! That realisation woke me up. I sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, it was a beautiful thing! Usually once my eyes are shut, that is me on shut-down for the whole night, a band marching through my bedroom couldn’t wake me! It was a real surprise for me a sound sleeper to wake up in the night and to wake up to the sound of my own voice praying…praying in my sleep.
Since that night I have woken early in the morning usually 5 or 6 am which also is not like me …I am good at sleeping!
. I also fast on sleep and make all night vigils from time to time in rememberance of our Lord’s agony in the garden. Well now seeing as I wake before my daughter at this silly hour of 5 or 6 am…I spend this little time before 7 or 8 am when my daughter wakes in the peace of our Lord and pray. Nice cup of coffee and a sit in the garden for a little conversation with Our Lord Jesus, The Holy Spirit and God Our Father, unless it rains (which it does alot in the UK…in that case I go back to my room with my coffee and talk with God there).
The Holy Spirit stirs the human spirit to prayer and who are we to turn over in bed and refuse?
God bless you and much love and peace to you
