Up Late, Coincidence? I think not!

Ok so I'm up late again. I have been trying to get in bed a little earlier, but I just can't get away from Law & Order Criminal Intent & SVU re-runs. Tonite I watched Psych for the first time and I'm afraid I will watch again. Anyway, here's what I'm pondering. I have had a few people pop up in my mind for prayer, so am I up to pray for them, or is it a coincidence? If you believe as I do, that God will speak in that still small voice, then you would err on the side of caution and definitely make the petitions on their behalf. After all, my dad always says, "pray for me, i need the prayer, & you need the practice. So, in the least of things, I have practiced, or exercised my prayer life. I believe it is a win win situation. I know, I know, you're asking why the big deal? The reason I am confronting the issue is because many times in the past I would have just gotten up, had a snack, watched Sports Center for the 5th hour of the night, and then fell asleep on the couch sitting straight up, establishing a sore neck for the morning. The crime? Somebody, some situation, some need, didn't get any attention, and any faith applied, in a supplication to God almighty, who already knew of the need, just didn't hear about from me, which makes me apathetic, and implicates me in not doing what I should. So, no longer will I be guilty, of ignoring the nudging of the holy spirit to lift up that late night, early morning, prayer. Done. Hey! Do you love Jesus?
