Who you are at 2 a.m. with your phone is who you are. Invite God into that hour.

The unwatched hour is honest in a way the rest of the day is not. Late at night there is no audience to perform for, and whatever you turn to then says something true about what you are carrying, whether that is loneliness, boredom, or a need for comfort. The invitation is not to be ashamed of that hour but to stop keeping it separate.

Bring it into the open. Say in prayer what you are actually looking for at that time. Tell one person about the pattern if it has been heavy, and change the small logistics rather than relying on resolve.
