I think one thing that makes almost any person mad is being woken up in the middle of the night. For the past week sometime between 3am-4am I have abruptly woken up with no obvious reason to why. My eyes would just snap open and I would be fully awake with absolutely no tiredness. It was the weirdest thing, but the first night when it happened I just started praying over my squad and anyone who was being spiritually attacked or not sleeping well and I fell back asleep.
The next day the same thing happened, and the day after. After a couple days I finally asked the Lord why I kept waking up and He told me it was to intercede on behalf of my squadmates who were having trouble sleeping. Interceding isn’t something I knew much about before the race, but I’ve begun to learn a lot about. It is basically stepping in and filling a gap between a person and God and pleading on their behalf to the Father. While they can pray for themselves, it is a way to support your brothers and sisters in prayer that is more intentional and intimate.
It has been a week or so since the first night, and while I could be upset that I’m being woken up at 3am every morning, it has been such an honor to support my squad mates in this way. I have been able to talk with a lot of the people who have been having nightmares and it has made our relationships stronger which has been so special.
I know this might not seem like a big deal, but it has been on my heart for a couple days and it is currently one way that the Lord is working in my life that I wanted to share with you.
As always, thanks for reading and supporting me!!
