We should pray at midnight (12 am) and 3 am because it is believed to be an essential spiritual and Christian practice. Even though the scriptures do not specify 3:00 A.M as the best time for believers to pray, they provide compelling examples of certain God’s servants who were dedicated to praying at midnight. Paul and Silas are examples of such individuals as mentioned in Acts 16:20.
According to Bible records, while in prison, they were locked up, singing and praying loudly at midnight. The prisoners were set free by God after the jail doors were broken open by an earthquake.
Praying at night has been significantly highlighted by several Bible verses. Christians should also read the Bible so that the Holy Spirit can minister to them individually. Here are other reasons why one should pray from midnight to 3:00 AM.
1. Seek the Face of God
This is the best time to seek the face of God. At this time, most people are asleep and the devil is awake trying to torment them. This period is when most witches carry out their evil activities, and praying becomes the best weapon to overcome the power of darkness.
2. Plead for Mercy and Forgiveness
This is the time to plead for mercy and forgiveness. Wake up and make a confession to God without distractions, as the environment is quiet and serene for praying.
3. Grow Stronger and Deeper
Praying at 3:00 a.m empowers you to grow stronger and deeper in faith. It allows you to be healthy, sleep well under God’s protection, and wake up with God’s abundant blessings.
