About a year or so after this incident, one spouse shared with me the fact that the other had left without intention of returning (or at least the mention of it). They ended up returning stating that God had convicted them, and the couple is still married today. The timing was crazily about the time I had woken up in the middle of the night to pray!
While it seems weird to our Western minds, I am so thankful that God trusted me enough to wake me up to pray for my friend. It makes me wonder how many times God has woken up someone else with thoughts of me. It also makes me wonder how many other people God tried to wake up to pray, such as if he tried to wake up others and they dismissed it as eating pizza too close to bedtime.
I challenge those that read this to be available to God... you never know what is at stake. I challenge you to be able to answer like Samuel:
1 Samuel 3:4... the LORD called Samuel; and he said, "Here I am."
