Okay. There are times that when I come before God in prayer that I have this feeling within me that feels for the lack of better words, weird (but in a good way). To further explain the feeling... It is as if I am overwhelmed with joy, but at the same time a sincereness, so when I am praying I feel like shouting, or like I have a lot of words within me that need to come out, but my mouth just can't move fast enough. When I am feeling like this, I also feel like I can stay on my knees in prayer forever, but I'll tell myself that it is not necessary for me to stay on my knees in prayer forever, and once I say all that I feel that I need to say before God, I should just get up because anything else will just be me being on my knees. However, when I get up, I feel incomplete, but because I am normally spending most of my time in prayer in the late hours of the night due to me having kids and that is the best time... I convince myself to go to bed so that I am not as tired when having to wake for work.
That may seem like a lame excuse (the work thing), but last week was for some reason a really hard week for me in terms of "alertness" on my job. I felt as if I was having out of body experiences I was just so tired! I remember reading something (I "think" it was a scripture) where it mentioned that it is better to have one sleepless night before God, than many sleepless nights in hell. I feel that, and have tried to pattern my life after such, but it kicked my rear last week!
So, my question is... Has anyone else experienced a feeling like this while praying, or is it just something "weird" going on with me and I need not to pay any attention to it?
I appreciate any responses to this. God Bless!
