As believers, we often face challenging situations that cause frustration and worry. We bring our concerns to Jesus Christ. Sometimes at night, we can't sleep, we toss and turn, praying through restless hours. When morning comes, we feel tired and unrested. Many believers, myself included, have experienced this throughout their lives.
But, in the past four years, I have had a completely different experience. Often at night, I wake up praying or dream about praying and then fall asleep. These nights are not restless or worrying but focused on prayer and worship. When I wake up, I feel fully rested despite praying almost all night.
Scripture says that the Holy Spirit prays for believers.
Romans 8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. “
I have heard that others have similar experiences; they wake up engaged in praise and worship, with some singing hymns or praying for specific individuals.
Since December 2023, I have been waking up or dreaming of reciting Psalm 121, specifically the first three verses. Initially, this happened once or twice a month, then weekly, and now almost 3-4 times a night.
On occasion, I recite other verses subconsciously during sleep or dreams; however, the three verses from Psalms occur more frequently and have persisted for the past 28 months.
I am wondering if others have had similar experiences and what messages I should take from these prayers.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
