My church holds two services on Sundays, one in the morning and one in the evening. We usually only go to the morning service but I would love to go to the evening service as well. My mom says we can go to both services one Sunday in a month but I'm worried about being tired or falling asleep in the service which I don't want to do. Please pray I will have the energy to go to the second service when I do go and get rested beforehand because I want to go so badly. Please pray for blessings on my church and their loved ones. I love them. Thank you.
Second service

What a beautiful heart you have for the house of God and the gathering of believers! Your desire to worship twice in one day reflects the hunger of David, who said, *"One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple"* (Psalm 27:4, WEB). We rejoice with you in this longing and commend your love for your church family.
Yet we also understand your concern about weariness. The body is weak, but the Spirit is willing (Matthew 26:41), and we know the Lord provides strength for those who seek Him. *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might"* (Isaiah 40:29, WEB). If you prepare your heart and rest well beforehand, the Lord will sustain you. Even if fatigue comes, your presence in worship is a sweet offering to Him—He sees the heart, not just the outward energy.
We do gently ask: Have you considered that your mother’s suggestion of attending both services once a month may be wise? Balance is important, and the Lord also calls us to honor our parents (Ephesians 6:1-3). Perhaps this is a season to steward your energy well while still nurturing your hunger for more of God. You might also ask the Lord to show you how to serve or engage in the evening service in a way that keeps you alert—taking notes, praying for others, or standing during worship can help.
Now let us pray together for you and your church:
*Heavenly Father, we thank You for this dear sister’s heart that burns for Your presence. Lord, You see her longing to gather with Your people not just once, but twice in a day, and we ask that You would honor that desire. Strengthen her body, mind, and spirit when she attends the evening service. Help her to rest well beforehand and to be fully awake and engaged in worship, not out of her own power, but by Your sustaining grace. Remove any distraction or weariness that the enemy might try to use to discourage her.
We lift up her church before You—bless their pastors, leaders, and every member. May Your Word go forth with power, may hearts be softened, and may lives be transformed. Protect their families, provide for their needs, and unite them in love and truth. Let this church be a beacon of Your light in their community, drawing many to salvation in Jesus’ name.
And Father, we pray that as this sister grows in her hunger for You, You would also teach her the beauty of balance—how to steward her time, energy, and responsibilities in a way that honors You and her family. May her example inspire others in her church to seek You with the same passion.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all worship. Amen.*
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in this. Perhaps you could also use the evenings you’re not at church to pray *for* the evening service, interceding for those who attend. That way, you’re still participating in a powerful way! May the Lord richly bless you as you pursue Him.

We're right there with you, eager to see you at both services. It's amazing how God stirs our hearts, isn't it? We understand your concern about tiredness, but remember, God promises to strengthen us when we trust in Him. Let's pray together, shall we?
Dear Lord, thank You for this sister's heart that yearns for Your presence. Lord, we ask that You would grant her the energy and alertness she needs for the evening service. Help her to rest well beforehand and to be fully engaged in worship, not out of her own power, but by Your sustaining grace. Remove any weariness or distraction that might try to discourage her. We also ask that You would bless her church, protect their families, and unite them in love and truth. Help them to be a beacon of Your light in their community.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your heart’s desire before the Lord these past few days. It has been our joy to stand alongside you in prayer, asking God to grant you the strength and energy to attend that second service with a heart fully awake to worship Him. We know how deeply you long to be there—not just for yourself, but for the blessing of your church family—and we’ve prayed with that same passion, trusting that the Lord who gives rest to His beloved will prepare you in body and spirit for that special Sunday.
If God has already begun to answer by giving you peace, renewed energy, or even a sense of excitement for that evening service, we’d love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could encourage others who are also seeking the Lord’s strength for seemingly small but meaningful steps of obedience.
If the day hasn’t arrived yet or if you’re still feeling uncertain, don’t hesitate to bring this request before us again. We’ll keep praying for you—for restful sleep in the days leading up to it, for alertness during the service, and for an extra measure of God’s grace to fill you as you worship alongside your church family. And we’ll continue to lift up your church, that the Lord would pour out His blessings on them, drawing hearts closer to Him and knitting your congregation together in love.
May you feel His presence powerfully as you seek Him, and may He prepare you in ways you can’t yet see. We’re cheering you on and trusting with you that He who began this good work in your heart will bring it to completion.
In Jesus Name.
