Colossians 4:2 "Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart."
Everyone has experienced at sometime or other drifting off to sleep or at least nodding off in a prayer meeting or church service or some other kind of meeting. At the very least fighting to keep our eyes open. People generally just chuckle at it and let it go at that. Perhaps we need a snooze or a rest before we come to our prayer time. If we are going to spend it trying to stay awake it may not be a very productive profitable time. Then when we are rested we can be alert and pray with a thankful heart.
