Why Night-time Prayer Matters
Night-time stands as a sacred delivery period in the life span of nature and God. Biblical records show that Jesus frequently retreated to secluded places that he visited during evening or morning periods to seek divine connections with his Father (Luke 5:16). At the end of each day, the pace of the world slows down as hearts find a natural state of openness.
Night-time prayer generates powerful spiritual effects as shown below:
I. Through prayer, you find closure to your day by surrendering all matters to God because He will handle what you cannot control.
II. The practice of nightly prayer helps bring peace because it takes away future anxiety through its soothing assurance.
III. Communication with God before bedtime deepens both our intimacy and our dependence upon Him.
IV. The practice of prayer allows your heart to find complete rest through the release of its burdens.
Tonight before bed, you should not merely fall asleep but should find rest through prayer.
The establishment of a sacred environment for evening prayer practice
Prayer requires no perfect environment to take place. God reaches us in whichever position we currently find ourselves. Creating a setting helps your heart to find peace. Consider:
I. Reducing illumination or using a candle burn.
II. Listening to soft music with religious worship elements as well as instrumental melodies.
III. A prayer journal along with the Bible should always remain near you.
IV. You should deactivate your smartphone and avoid watching television during your prayer time.
Your objective should be to stay present rather than perform. Be with God.
