You get up to read your bible and pray every night at 3 am? I think that is awesome! Do you feel led to do this? Are you able to go back to sleep? What is God teaching you during these times?

I was told that is the witching hour,and a christian who has been given the gift of intercessory prayer wakes at this time to pray.It happens to me,but I have to admit I'm not as faithful as I should be to pray.Apparently that is when the most spiritually affective things happen,and that's also when the spiritual dark things take place.Someone who I respect told me this,they are gifted in spiritual gifts from God.

Our body is a very fascinating tool because it has the ability to create habits that compel you to do something. Try going to the bathroom everyday (even if you don't need to) at the same hour for a week or so. After that time your body will have adjusted to that schedule and you will feel the urge to go the bathroom at that very hour everyday. In my opinion what's happening to you is the exact same thing but instead of needing to pee, you need to wake up (and you connected that ritual with Bible study...which is not the worse thing you could be doing).

what the person above me said. Cept I wasn't told it was the witchin hour. Just that someone needs prayer. Do at least 20 mins. God bless. Keep pure and noble.

You need to think and pray. What exactly is God asking you to look at. What is going on in your life? Perhaps if you tell us what is on your heart the moment you wake we can help you.

maybe you watched emily rose(the movie) and you are compelled through fear to get up at 3 and pray.if not i think it is just instinct. if it bothers you the seek advice from a doctor or if it is through fear ask a spiritual director in your local church.

Next time this happens, simply say "Speak Lord, your servant is listening" and then clear your mind of all distractions and listen.
