What Keeps You Up At Night?

What keeps you up at night?

I sleep like a rock, so I can’t answer that particular question, but I can answer one just like it. What is it that is going on in the world that I can’t get out of my head? What is it that ticks me off? What is it that I see and demand that someone simply must do something about?

You know that thing. For a lot of us, we try and pray and these thoughts – or these people – keep coming to mind and we try to shake it off and put it away for another time. “Go away, I’m busy praying.”

One question: is it possible that this thing, that keeps you up at night and occupies your thoughts, is something that God is desperate for you to pray about? For you to get honest about? For you to get trained, commissioned and fired up to change?

What is it that God is bringing to your mind? Are you praying that God will help you make sense of it?
