I Don't Count Sheep

I've always heard that the thing to do when we can't go to sleep is to count sheep right? Well I think there's something better to do. And that is count my blessings or what I do is pray for people from A to Z. I'm going to mention what I do when I go to bed at night or wake up in the middle of the night and try to fall back asleep.  If you can't sleep I suggest you try it to. I first began with a praise, then I continue with a person's name or peoples names, then I go to the next letter and so on and so forth. Sometimes I fall right back asleep in the middle of the alphabet. I figure the Lord woke me up to pray for the people that I prayed for and then he said I can go back to sleep. Sometimes I wake up again before it was time to get ready for the day so then I continue if not I stop and if I feel like God wants me to continue later in the day I have to be obedient. It does happen sometimes not all the time though.

It's funny because sometimes I think of names of people that I haven't seen since grade school. I'm not even friends with them on Facebook too. God just put the names in my mind of people who really need prayer. It's funny because one time I remember waking up in the middle of the night just wanting to pray for someone who is in trouble.  I have no idea what that was about so I prayed and then fell back asleep. When I woke up I was watching and listening to the news and down the block there was a big fire in an apartment building.

Let me end with an example on what I mean.

First I begin with A
God is Amazing!
I pray for Ashley for example

Then, B
God is Beautiful
I pray for Beatrice

So on......so forth  Hope this helps!!!!
