I experienced a type of prayer that I can’t remember going through (at least in quite some time). It was a deep calling to deep experience and I am so grateful for the Spirit walking me through it.

When I went to bed I was mulling over yet another car repair and making sure we had enough money. Through the night I would normally toss and turn with that kind of worry. Last night, I felt myself wake up a couple of times, but when I did, I came out of sleep sensing a true crying out in my spirit in intercession. It was a deep cry that I hope was not out loud, but I could sense the depth of that cry. It was not worry. It was intercession. I woke up with a confidence in the Lord’s provision, AND another audacious goal to pray for financially. This has been some week for prayer!

3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side. (Psalm 3:3-6, NIV)
