A year and a half ago I felt that God was challenging me
with trusting Him with my alarm clock.
Yeah I know it sounds a little strange, but I felt like God was asking me
to trust Him with my time including my waking up. At the time trusting God as my alarm clock
sounded crazy so I dismissed the thought.
That week I noticed that I would spontaneously wake up before my alarm
clock went off. After that happened a
couple of times I realized that maybe, just maybe God can do this. So I took on this crazy challenge. Every night I prayed that He would wake me up
and to my amazement He did! At first
when I started this I was afraid that if I did not pray every night then He
would not wake me up but even when I forgot to pray He continued to wake me
up. After that I realized that He is God
and knows more about my schedule than I do! And that I could trust the God of the
universe, who created the heavens and earth with my entire schedule.
So everyday I woke up with God. It was amazing not waking up to an annoying
alarm clock buzzing in my air! Since
then I have continued to trust God as my alarm clock (although there were
plenty of times I was completely scared He would not wake me up but despite my
fear He did not fail). I have successfully
made it through 3 sets of finals, my MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test) and
classes without setting an alarm!
you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him!”
