What happens when you are awakened in the night by a barking dog or some other animal? Most of us are annoyed when the dog continues to bark and we are unable to go back to sleep. Sometimes, even after the dog has stopped barking we are unable to sleep and we become more and more frustrated. It has been said by someone that when you cannot sleep instead of counting sheep we should talk to the Shepherd. The testimonies are numerous of people who have been awakened in the night and felt compelled to pray for a friend or missionary only to find out later that at that very moment the person for whom they were praying was facing an extreme situation. God can use a barking dog to fulfill His purposes. We often see these situations as hindrances and annoyances but they can be times of God’s grace flowing in and through us.
