Understanding Midnight Wakefulness: A Spiritual Perspective

Hello All,

There is much discussion as to why we wake up in the middle of the night. It used to drive me crazy and make me angry because I wasn’t falling back to sleep right away. Then my spiritual advisor made a comment, “…that maybe, just maybe, God is asking for some alone time with you.” After much consideration, I agreed, and I must say it makes me feel so much better knowing that He just wants to chat.

It is at those times that I start saying my prayers and just telling Him what has been on my mind. I know many will think I am crazy, but it is in those moments He speaks to me. I find I become more at peace. I enjoy our alone time together.

Anyway, I have decided to post prayers at 3 am CST daily. It seems that God likes to spend time with me at that time. I have decided to not only pray for those on the prayer list and my country, but to pray for every country in the world. To let you know, if I understand correctly, there are 195 countries.

The first country we’ll focus on is Afghanistan. Initially, I considered going in reverse order, but decided against it. With 195 countries and 365 days in a year, I’ll be dedicating approximately 2 days to pray for each country. Starting in 2025, we’ll include the last few days of 2024. By 2026, we’ll be sticking to this 2-day schedule consistently. Anyone interested in adding prayers or thoughts feel free to comment at the end of each post or on the prayer request page. If you do not want to join in please scroll past these posts. Thank you.

***FYI. there will be components of the prayers which will be alike. Hopefully this will not cause you not to pray along.


The 3am Global Prayer Mission

Beginning in 2025, I will be posting a daily 3am prayer for each of the 195 countries of the world.
