Something shared by long-time friend Connie Mechem who now lives in Colorado; from yesterday's international devotional publication Upper Room:
 
"For sometime, I have been waking up in the middle of the night, staring at the ceiling and wondering why I am awake. I'm tired. I have to get up early. What am I to do? A few nights ago, I remembered a friend's suggestion about ABC prayers. I began with the letter A and thought of people whose names began with A. Then I prayed specifically for their needs and asked God to touch their lives. Then I moved on to B. I remember reaching the letter M, but the rest is a blur. I was snoozing peacefully again. This exercise reminds me of the joy and peace we find in praying for others. In our small Sunday School class, we post weekly prayer requests. We have been amazed to see the power of our prayers at work. Talking with God, submitting our sincere requests for God's help and guidance for our friends and family, leads to amazing results or even as in my case, it can lead to a calming and peaceful sleep."
