Daylight Savings

Do we really have to loose an hour of sleep tonight? I get so little as it is with 3 kids under 6. There is usually at least one visitor to my bedside each night and that's if I am lucky. Lately with Cody teething and Colin getting over a virus I have been lucky to get 5-6 hours and now I get to look forward to loosing an extra hour tonight. Yeah:( Can you hear the enthusiasm? I have often kidded with my family that the best cure for insomnia is praying or trying to read the Bible. Am I the only one who feels like the enemy places me in a room full of poppies like in the wizard of oz as soon as I start to pray or read my Bible? Lord help us all! It reminds me of when Jesus was praying with the disciples right before his arrest and He kept finding them asleep. (Mark 14:32-41) If they only knew what was about to happen. I wonder if it would have made a difference. How many times have we heard of a crisis or extreme situation and promised to pray and then forgot? I have to admit there are also times when I have let the enemy defeat me. I have been on a spiritual high and then felt so attacked that I gave up. I thought if I retreat then I won't feel the heat so much. I guess that is why we are exhorted in Ephesians that after we have put on the armor of God to "stand your ground, stand, and stand firm." Retreat is not an option. Giving up is not an option. Falling asleep is not an option. There are too many people who are in a crisis and if we can't stay awake to pray then who will?
