FUN FACTS FOUND IN THE BIBLE
Did you ever camp out overnight or spend the night at someone else's house and stay up half the night talking and giggling?
Well, did you ever pray all night? That's why Jesus did the night before he chose his twelve apostles! He went out to a mountain and prayed all night, and when the morning broke, he called together his friends and from them he chose his twelve apostles. When it was time to make an important decision, the first thing Jesus did was PRAY! And that's still a good idea for everybody today:
Look before you leap, think before you speak, and PRAY for help before you do anything important!
Do you think Jesus wants you to stay up all night praying? No, Jesus wants you to get enough sleep so you'll be bright-eyed in the morning and ready for school. Instead of praying all night you should just pray every night! Before you go to sleep, always say a "good night" prayer. And when you wake up, it would be a good idea to say a "good morning" prayer too...to thank God for another day and another opportunity!
