Prayer and burdens

Hello fellow brothers and sisters in the lord(:

Last night at about 11:00 I could not sleep and felt a strong urging to pray for the Hispanics and other people. I can not explain this urging but i know I need to pray so with worship music already playing I did something so radical I skipped the chance to sleep more and went to my knees in prayer for a time. it was good but somewhat hard because of my flesh wishing to sleep. I did the more I think about it feel like the verse from Deuteronomy came to mind came to mind.
Deu 1:17 You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid in any man's presence, for the judgment [is] God's. The case that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.'

(Italics mine)
that spoke to me as I prayed in my room for the world, the lord confirmed his words in my heart and something big is about to happen(:
Ironically enough I had a long stream of connections and interaction with hispanics today in a local Mexican restaurant The lord is building a church up right out of a restaurant! praise the Lord, anyways, I'm praying for this small group of believers but more info on them to come(: it's a long story(:
back to what the lord is teaching me, I really have been learning to take my "Cases" before the lord and it is amazing to take the time to really intercede and I'm praying about spending more time in prayer for the lost world. This is really all coming out of a desire to just really know God and after much consideration and reading of the book "the cross and the switchblade" I really feel like this is the way to reach the hispanics but I know it will be tough I may try to pray at night more often. I'm sorry my thoughts are so scattered but I really need to express and rant. The time is so short and we need to be praying and seeking the lord and stepping out in faith trusting every decision to be an open door(:
The lord is convicting me of this very thing.
