Psalm16:7

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.

This verse stood out to me this morning because just this week I experienced that same sensation. I had been feverishly praying for some friends who were wrestling with a big decision. I fell asleep with their prayers on my lips. In the middle of the night I awoke to use the bathroom and I felt as if I had been praying in my sleep. It honestly felt like I was wore out from praying. This is the first time I ever experienced this before.

In the morning, I did see their situation in a new light. I shared with them how my advice for them, from yesterday, had changed since the Holy Spirit showed it to me in a different way.

Prayer does work and it is very powerful! The Holy Spirit does really work inside of us, speaking to God on our behalf.
