Pilgrim's Agony

It is past 4:30am and I am still awake. I just simply could not sleep as there were a lot of thoughts running in my mind now. Earlier I took some time to pray for the man who was arrested yesterday and I also asked the Lord to go ahead of him to prepare all that is necessary for the charges he will have to face. I also hope he is able to sleep well in whichever lock-up he was sent to. I also read Psalm 121 - at least it gave me some peace and assurance.

It is a lousy feeling whenever I think about the above-mentioned. Now that this has happened, I hope the Lord will show me what else I can do for this particular person. I really want him to know that I am interested in his life and I hope I will be able to walk alongside him.

Well, thought I just jot some of these thoughts down. One of the hardest parts of my pilgrim's journey I am experiencing now.

I need to sleep - long day ahead.

"I lift up my eyes to the hills — where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip — he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you — the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." Psalm 121
