Did you ever wake up way too early with things running through your mind? Then you can not get back to sleep? Well this is a normal occurrence for me.
Everything from what I have to do today, to what's on TV, to keep the dogs quiet so Lynnette can sleep, to replaying a dream that I had to see if it made any sense, and the list goes on and on. Well, it's Sunday at 4:30 a.m. and here I am composing my thoughts.
But this morning I awoke thinking about a family that was hurt deeply by others and how they are searching for a hug and acceptance. My mind races in that I can not be around to give them the hugs, so I go to praying for them to find the people they need who will uplift them and give them love and acceptance.
I simply pray for them and ask the Lord to lead them to people who will love them unconditionally. No need for a long drawn out dissertation of prayer but just petition the Lord for his favor in their lives. Period.
Is there someone out there where the Lord has placed them on your heart? It is not by accident that they have now come to you mind so just say a simple prayer and watch the Lord work. You will be enriched beyond your wildest imagination of what the Lord does today. So get going on your simple prayer.
