sleepless night

ever had a night where you just could not sleep. things keep churning in your mind, round and round they go, and you think about absolutely everything. sleep is robbed from your eyes and your mind just cannot relax into slumber....and it's not necessarily because you had too much caffeine...it may not be that you are worried or contemplating a big decision, you simply may not be able to sleep. your mind is active. this extra bit of energy is actually to your advantage...these nights don't happen often, so don't keep tossing and turning in bed. Don't adjust your pillow any longer. The Holy Spirit is nudging you to get up and talk to your Maker. It's quality time. Take up the moment to pray, read the Bible, worship the Lord with song, everything that you pondered on, that you thought about, put it into prayer.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 is one of my favorite passages since it reminds me that everything that happens, every second of the day "something spiritual" is occurring yet we cannot see it with our natural eyes. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Let's put that into practice, grab hold of the thought and captivate it, making it obedient to Christ. Think like Jesus, pray like He did and the next morning when you awake well rested, you will already feel connected to the heavens! Cherish the sleepless night, it will bring rewards in the morning!
