I realy like the dream you shared. Especialy because of the confirmation you received. It seems to me when the Lord wants to drive a point home he does this sort of thing. Kind of like, wake up and pay attention with all sorts of exclamation points. The second one sort of reminds me that we are in a struggle, that God does not want us to give up just because it seems impossible. It is hard work, forcing yourself to pray, at the start anyway. We have to fight many bad habits to be fruitful. And it is sin that blinds us and the world to God. And it is sin in the church and our lives that prevents us from being on our toes, ready and awake for the Lord's return.
