No more lonely nights

As I lay in bed last night, I was trying to tolerate the pain of a gall bladder flare up (I have them every once in awhile, ever since I had my baby 9 months ago). I decided I was going to pray and put my pain in God's hands because I knew He was the only one who could stop it. I find myself having my most intimate conversations with God at the end of the night when I go to bed. There is just something about it being so quiet and in a relaxed state that makes this time so special. I think it's mainly because there are no distractions. I have always spent my most intimate time with God right before I go to sleep. It makes going to sleep so much more peaceful and it's so cool to fall asleep talking to Him.

As I prayed that the pain I was enduring would stop, last night, it was only minutes after I prayed that the pain completely stopped. I praised God for his generosity and care in stopping the pain. Then for some reason I thought back to my wedding day when my husband strummed his guitar and sang to me the song "No more lonely nights" by Paul McCartney:

"I can wait another day until I call you  
You only got my heart on a string  
And everything a flutter
 
But another lonely night might take forever  

We've only got each other to blame 

It's all the same to me love 

'Cause, I know what I feel to be right

 
No more lonely nights  

No more lonely nights 

You're my guiding light  

Day or night, I'm always there

 
May I never miss the thrill of being near you 

And if it takes a couple of years  

To turn your tears to laughter 

I will do what I feel to be right

 
No more lonely nights

Never be another  

No more lonely nights  
You're my guiding light Day or night, I'm always there

 
And I won't go away until you tell me so  

No, I'll never go away  

Yes, I know what I feel to be right

 
No more lonely nights  

Never be another  

No more lonely nights  

You're my guiding light Day or night, I'm always there
And I won't go away until you tell me so  

No, I'll never go away 

I won't go away until you tell me so"

It's like a conversation between me and God. His words in red. This is exactly what it seemed to me last night. God is so loving and He is always there, it is us who stray away. So, the next time you ask God where He is, remember that He never left; but it was in fact you that was absent. He is ALWAYS there. I am glad to know that I will never have a lonely night and that whether it is day or night His guiding light will always be present.
