Wide awake

Sometimes I wake up in the very darkest part of night, and I feel an urge to pray. Often I later learn that time is correlated with a loved one going through something fierce. I am exhausted but cannot sleep tonight. You are on my mind and I can't shake you. Not in a lame, angsty teenage way...in an urgent, overwhelming way. Perhaps I can't stop whatever troubles you, but maybe I can help somehow? I see you slipping and I don't want you to hurt yourself because I genuinely care about you. I can't put this yearning into words but I feel crippled by this urgency.

You are so much more precious than you are treating yourself!

Maybe I'll never get through to you, but I beg the Lord to make himself so evident to you that you cannot deny his love for you.
