While I’m far away from you, my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby
(Yeah) Because it’s hard for me, my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
If there’s one thing I want you to do
Especially for me
Then it’s something
That everybody needs
A little wisdom from the Mamas and Papas quoted above. For those not of a certain age, the Mamas and Papas was a band from the 1960’s that was a blockbuster group. I loved them. The above lyrics were excerpted from the song “Dedicated to the One I Love”. There is great wisdom in those lyrics. Whispering a prayer for those we love just before we go to sleep does wonders for our soul and our sleep.
I have noted in past blogs about the idea of planting good, positive thoughts right before we sleep. I have talked about Intentional Positive Self-Talk just before sleep as we recount a few really good decisions or behaviors that we did during the day. It is a great capstone of the day.
So, I suggest that we also heed the wisdom from the Mamas and Papas. Whisper a little prayer for the ones you love- it’s something that everybody needs…
Prayer: Thank you, Lord for intercessory prayer, Amen
