Conclusion
Night prayers before sleep are very powerful and the devil is aware of that. The devil does not like it when you pray at night because he knows you will overcome him and his schemes. That is why he uses tricks like fatigue to prevent you from praying.
The Bible advises you to pray without always ceasing and be watchful in prayer. When you cease to pray, you give the devil a loophole to attack you. Do not allow fatigue from the day’s work to be an excuse for sleeping without praying. Pray always to experience God working in you.
