Stay awake

I see you out in a park
And there were many leaves blowing, but this one particular
Leaf seemed to take on a life of its own
And you began to follow it
It was separate from the pack of leaves
And see life situations and circumstances has led you apart
I see you being led to walk a singular path
A time of reflection, time of deep prayer
God is calling you aside so He can speak with you
Outside the walls of life
Where things get busy
Distractions cry out
You will begin to feel a greater pulling of your spirit to separate yourself from others
God wants to touch you in this place
And give you instructions for the next phase of which is to come

Me: Lord, what about the word I got, what are the leaves?

God: They are endless possibilities all being pushed and moved by the Holy Spirit. The one you choose is up to you.

Me: Lord, I want to choose the one that draws me closest to You. I want to write, I want to spend time with You and go deep with You.

God: OK, Patrick. You must discipline yourself. Stay awake, and do not fall asleep.

Me: What do you mean?

(interrupted)

God: Keep your mind alert, your ears listening to My voice, do not let a spirit of slumber overtake you. You will be faced with laziness, slumbering, letting your mind take a vacation from your task at hand, which is to focus on Me, and stay with Me in a place of learning. Yes, you are already facing it. Your best strategy to overcome it is to journal with me regularly. Do not settle with once every other day or once in the morning alone. Listen for my call to sit with Me, and get your journal out, and sit with Me.
