I wake up every 4 in the morning just to be alone.  To commune with God, to journal my thoughts and to pray.  I don’t need to do it but I want to do it.  No matter how difficult and tiring it is sometimes, it is necessary.

I need a sanctuary where I could recharge my energy to survive my day.  I need a place and a time where I could reflect on my actions the day before.  I need a pause before tackling another day.

My prayer life is my sanctuary, my one hour alone time with my Creator and with myself.  It is not enough but it is what I have.  I thank God for the gift of time.
