Too Tired to Pray

 Am I the only one?

There have been numerous times I have been too tired to pray

whether it is physically or emotionally

I was spent

One memory is of a time I went to the church 

that was open for 24 hour prayer.  

It was mid evening 

and as I entered the quiet dim lit room and sat down,

 I promptly fell asleep! 

 I awakened a few times 

chiding myself

 and then proceeded to nod off again!

As I was berating myself 

I heard My Savior say: 

"Its ok You've prayed"

SO gentle and kind

Another memory is of a dream I had 

where I was in a large building (church) with many rooms. 

 I was going from room to room, 

checking in, encouraging, watching over etc, 

when I came out of the room 

My Husband was standing over by a railing looking at me .  

He had love in His eyes 

and simply with a beautiful smile 

beaconed me with his hands to come to Him.  

I walked over and He just wrapped me 

in the BIGGEST HUG 

(that hug lasted for days in my memory and senses!)

You see friend 

our Lord is not a task master

He is not counting our words and moments 

spent in prayer as if to fill a quota

He just loves us, that's all!!

He loves to hear from us!

A couple days ago as I was pulling up to a red light 

I noticed my son's truck in the next lane.  

I used the horn to get his attention

 and as we rolled down the windows 

I melted

 seeing his handsome face and beautiful smile. 

 I ached as he drove away

 that I had not had "time" with him

 in a long time. 

 He was my baby.

I asked Jesus to put me on his heart 

and make him miss me 

Friend HE knows

He cares

He hears

He's perfect!

Holy Spirit please put Yourself on our hearts 

and cause us to want more time with You!
