This past week I decided to pray with girls in my dorm from 3am-6am. Not sure how you would think about this, but I was so excited to see what would happen. I went to bed around 10 in order to maximize my sleep. That didn't really help. I was so close to leaving around 3:45 and going back to bed. But I felt like God had things planned for me. I needed to stay and pray and listen to all He wanted to tell me.
This is the first time I have ever prayed that much. It was really intense. At times I didn't even know what to pray for. I prayed for my parents, my siblings, my niece, my brother-in-law, my grandparents, and friends. This was the first time that I took time and prayed specifically for them. It was so cool. I didn't know how to pray for them at first. As I prayed, I really feel like God showed me what I should be praying for them.
I had no big "Ah ha" moments when I prayed. I did spend 3 hours of prayer with my God. How can you want anything different than that?
Tonight we are having all dorm prayer. This is a shorter period of prayer, but just as effective. I love coming together as a dorm to pray for all the needs of this campus and community. It is so cool praying with people who you may not know yet have so much in common. In the sense of praying that is. I never thought about how much I missed out on by going to a public school. Prayer is apart of everything we do at this school. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
