“Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.” v.35
What a lesson! Jesus made time to commune with The Father. He was always busy, but even He made time to get away and meet with God. It’s easy to get caught up with ministry, work, school, and life for that matter, that we begin to neglect these times of solitude, individual worship, and prayer. Perhaps you need to redesign your schedule to find time for earnest prayer. It is vitally important to:
- Seek the Lord before your busy schedule takes over your day.
- Withdraw from the noise and demands so you can focus on God.
- Have Jesus’ attitude toward regular communion with God.
- Reflect on your priorities, compared to Jesus’ priorities.
- Determine to pray more consistently, not just in times of crisis.
If prayer was important for Jesus, then it must be important for His followers. PRAY – even if you have to get up early in the morning to do it.
My wife and I are reading a great book called “Secrets of the Secret Place” it talks about meeting with God and how important it is. Very good you can order it here!
