I am having a hard time sleeping lately. There are days that I'd sleep a little past midnight then wake up after 2 or 3 hours. The other day I slept at 2 in the morning then I was up at 6. Last night (err.. this dawn, I should say), I slept before the clock struck 2 then I was up at 4am. I never got my sleep again until 6 in the morning. I don't know what's happening. All I know is that I need to catch some Zs. There are some people who rely on sleeping pills to get rested. Me, I rely on prayers. For me, that is my best sleeping pill. So I'd usually grab Pammy and read some of my prayers-- the long ones. Then the next thing I know, I am in a deep slumber. Before I end this post, let me share something that I have stumbled upon. Another way of praying. It is interesting: Say hello. Acknowledge the one you’re with. Focus on the one who has chosen to be with you. Often, closing your eyes helps. Sometimes it helps to be attentive to your breathing. Sometimes just saying the name of the person you are with calms and settles you. Say hello.
Thank God for coming, for having this time to share. Then start with a subject you know something about: YOU. Tell God a little bit about your day, its successes and disappointments, about how you’re feeling, about what you’re hoping for. Sure, God knows all about you already. But sometimes saying it to another helps you to claim it as your own. Share what comes to mind or what is on your heart. What’s been the best part of your day so far. What’s really good in your life right now. Who, what is giving you the most grief – or the most joy. Talk about it. ZZZzzz.. |
