It used to drive me crazy and make me angry because I wasn&#8217;t falling back to sleep right away. Then my spiritual advisor made a comment, &#8220;&#8230;that maybe, just maybe, God is asking for some alone time with you.&#8221; After much consideration, I agreed, and I must say it makes me feel so much better knowing that He just wants to chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first country we&#8217;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&#8217;ll be dedicating approximately 2 days to pray for each country. Starting in 2025, we&#8217;ll include the last few days of 2024. By 2026, we&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/my-all-about-you.com\/?page_id=219\">request page<\/a>.   If you do not want to join in please scroll past these posts.   Thank you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">***FYI. there will be components of the prayers which will be alike. Hopefully this will not cause you not to pray along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 3am Global Prayer Mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beginning in 2025, I will be posting a daily 3am prayer for each of the 195 countries of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each nation will be prayed for over two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can follow the full series daily at 3 am:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Afghanistan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Belgium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Benin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bhutan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8230;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This message shares a personal revelation about waking up at night, where the author finds peace in conversing with God.
