Can't sleep
What does one do when they can't fall asleep? No need to drink alcohol, that could be a lifelong problem. There is nobody to call when one is up at three or four in the morning. Television is a waste, there is nothing on. Personally the best I can hope for is a good CD, or one that touches my soul on that particular night. Tonight I'm not having any luck with that either. R. Kelly won't help me fall asleep, nor will Jamiroquia, or Diana Krall.
I've been laying in bed since at least 11 o'clock. Tried every sleeping position, did the regular "r u up" text, and all things in-between. Yes I tried prayer as well, to no avail. This happens to me atleast once a week. I'm closer to the Lord now than I have ever been, and more in tune with myself than I have ever been. I know I'm depressed, but I feel as though the Lord is holding back something from me, or I'm not seeing what he is trying to tell me, and I won't be able to have a good night's rest again until I figure it out.
Can anybody out there tell me how to pray properly. How can I get that direct line to Jesus, so that I can be first on the list when I pray. If somebody out there in the blog world can forward me the format on how to pray properly I will happily accept it. Just e-mail me here and I will take your advice. Because being lonely is not a feeling I enjoy having.

In my own experience, the best way to pray is to talk to God like you're talking to a loved one. If you're looking for a format, start out thanking Him for everything He's done for you...even if it's a simple "Thank you for another day." After that, just talk to Him. Sometimes I just say, "Lord, you know me; you know I have issues. I'm feeling pretty bad right now, can you help me out?" It's as much about the process of being thankful and talking (out loud even) as it is about getting something. I'm not saying that this process is going to make you feel like dancing afterwards or that you'll even feel different every time...but if you do it at least twice a day (once in the morning, once at night), you'll notice a difference after a while. Throw in a verse a day, and all of a sudden you have devotion.
