I have been praying all day and it has been exhausting. Early this morning I was awakened and now I can't seem to get back to sleep and I feel very restless. It's 3:30 AM. and dark outside. I have heard all sort of birds singing in the trees in the back yard for the past thirty minutes. I sense something strong in the spirit, but I don't know what it is.

I cannot sleep, no matter what I do, and I seem to be all worked-up. I don't know whether to get up and work on the Prophecy Book, or try to relax myself to sleep. I have prayed all day, and I can't seem to get any answers on anything. My dog, Leroy, is real sick and I am very worried about him, and have been praying for him. I guess that's all. I still sense something in the spirit, but I don't know what it is, but it is strong. (over)

Nilikuwa nikiomba siku mzima na imekuwa ikichosha. Mapema leo niliamshwa na hivi inaelekea kuwa nashinda kurudi kulala na najisikia kama mtu mwenye wasiwasi kwa wingi. Ni saa 9:30 za usiku na ni giza nene huko nje. Nimekuwa nikisikia kila aina ya ndege wakiimba juu ya miti huko nje ya nyumba yangu kwa muda wa nusu zaa hivi zilizopita. Mimi najisikia kitu kizito sana katika roho, lakini mimi sijui ni kitu gain.

Nashindwa kulala, bila kujali ninafanya nini, na inaelekea kama kuna kitu kinachoni fanya niwe macho tu. Sielewi kama ni amke kwenda kushughulikia kitabu cha Unabii, au au nipumzike hadi kulala ikibidi. Nimekuwa nikiomba siku nzima, lakini nashindwa kupata jawabu lolote juu ya kila kitu. Mbwa wangu Leroy anaumwa sana na mimi ninawasiwasi mkubwa juu yake, na nimekuwa nikiomba kwa ajili yake. Nadhani haya ni yote. Bado nahisi kitu fulani katika rho yangu, lakini sielewi ni kitu gani ila inanguvu sna. (mwisho)
