It's two a.m. and I am wondering why in the world my brain won't go to sleep. I've prayed for several people I know. I've thought about several verses I've memorized. But...still, sleep eludes me. It use to be so very aggravating to me when I couldn't sleep. I would fret and soon my mind and emotions would have me running races without moving a muscle. But now, I just get up and write. Or read.
It's already Sunday morning. And since it won't be long before many of my pastor friends will be standing in the pulpits and teachers of their respective churches will be teaching the Word, I might as well pray for them. May God's grace be upon each of you. May the Spirit move in your midst and you see Christ manifested in all His glory as hearts are broken and encouraged by your messages. May the spiritual ears and eyes be opened and may the will be yielded to God's call. May the Christ be lifted up and may all honor and glory be given His name.
May all the Vacation Bible School teachers have each of their needs met. May grace abound in their lives--in and out of the teaching environment. May satan be bound and held captive as children from all around the neighborhoods of churches throughout the land find joy in learning God's Word. May seeds be planted, watered and fertilized in their hearts and minds. May the angel of the Lord encamp around these volunteers and may each have a sweet spirit of love to offer each child they see. May Jesus be magnified and glorified by all we do.
Yeah. Sunday came too early for me today. But maybe this is the reason. Blessings everyone!
~~~~I'm praying that when I publish this that my thoughts will shut off and whatever endorphins or chemicals in the brain that need to kick in will do their job. Otherwise, when it is time to get up and get ready for church, my body will rebell. And so will my mind. It's then, I will need YOUR prayers. selahV
