"If you sometimes fall asleep in prayer . . . don't worry or feel as if you've disappointed God. If your Father needs you, He will wake you. Your quiet heart is a joy to Him. Prayer is meant to involve the same delight a child feels on a grandfather's lap--and so much security that you might drift off to sleep."
John Devries
Why Pray?
Mission India 2005
Decades ago, now, Pastor Lois told me she often prayed in bed. Really? I can do that?
That was liberating!
Now, I fall asleep praying and sometimes I wake up, praying. I love Devries picture of this. And so . . . I'm about to answer my pillow's call.
