Greetings, lovers of the midnight prompt.
One thing I really like about midnight is accomplishing the goals I couldn’t achieve during the day, maybe because of the workload and other business of the day.
However, there are days when I wake up very early for corporate prayers since I stay in the NCCF family house. After that, I prepare for work by doing the necessary things so I can get to the office early, leaving me with no time for my personal prayer and study of the Word.
At the office, I work, dispatching files, photocopying, and handling other tasks. By then, I am exhausted and sometimes put my head down for a short siesta. Although it is not allowed in the office, I take that risk just to close my eyes for a few minutes.
After returning home, I join the evening devotion, freshen up, and go to sleep, desperate to wake up at midnight for Bible study and prayer. In the cool of the night, I study and pray, and I find what I am looking for. It excites my heart and brings peace to my mind.
There is an urgency and desperation in looking unto the Father, the Author and Finisher of my faith. As a believer, I know I cannot go far or succeed in this life without my God. I hear Him through the study of the Word and the leading of the Spirit before I can do anything else concerning my life. Through this, I have been able to relieve my spirit of its burden.
While many things feel urgent at midnight because of fear, anxiety, and health issues, my own urgency at midnight is different, it is the desperation to seek God before stepping out or making major decisions that concern my life.
