Episode 18
Ewa, Funto and Arinola couldn't sleep. They were all bothered in their different rooms yet, didn't know exactly how they feel but deeply within them, they knew everything isn't fine.
Arinola opened the door and Ewa stood up immediately she heard the opened door. So also Funto. They all gathered at the sitting room and everywhere was silent. After few minutes of silence, Arinola finally broke the silence.
"I really don't know what's happening to me. I find it hard to sleep, probably, it's because of what happened earlier. I don't even know but nevertheless, why are you guys also outside? Arinola asked
"I can't sleep too" Ewa said
"I also can't sleep" Funto said as they were all surprised
"When something like this, is happening, it can be a message and probably, forcing ourselves to sleep is not the solution" Funto said
"What then, is the message or what can we do? Arinola asked
"We have to pray. I think that's the message. Let's pray together and this is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you earlier Funto. I suggest, we all start praying together every day before sleeping and if possible, in the morning too" Ewa said
"Wow...I strongly agree with you. What do you think Arinola? Funto asked
"You guys know I don't like praying because that's how you guys will spend 4-6 hours in prayers. My own prayer, is just 5 minutes and if we must pray together, it must not be too long o" Arinola said as they both laughed
"Arinola, we can't dictate the hours or minutes to pray. Sometimes, we might say 30 minutes and the Holy Spirit can lead us on to 1 hour. Prayer is a communication, not just mere words" Ewa said
"Yes Arin, we depend on the Holy Spirit as we pray. The length of our prayers is not by our power nor might but by the spirit of God" Funto said
"Okay, let's just pray but let's make sure it's not too long" Arinola said as they held their hands and pray. The prayer lasted for one hour, 30 mins after, they all went to sleep peacefully.
