Falling Asleep

Today I sat down to pray.

But I fell asleep.

That deep, restful sleep.

Where you wake up refreshed.

But I felt guilty

“Sorry, Lord.” I stammered.

Then He said

“How do you feel when your child

Falls asleep in your arms?”

I was shaken,

I hadn’t seen it from His perspective.

I knew I was safe

I knew I was loved

I knew He held me.

So, I relaxed,

I yawned.

But I felt so loved and refreshed.

Next time,

And there will be a next time

I will enjoy it.

Thank You, Father.

Again.
