How very urgent it is for us to get away from life as we know it here on this earth to pray....to be still...to enter into silence to hear from God. Retreat....we must find places of retreat, both quick ways to pull away during a day and longer times to be away for a few days at least. We want to know God, but we often do not invest the time to really find Him and get to know Him for ourselves. Before the Holy Season of Lent, let's find time to be with God One on one in solitude. The Fruit is 'Out of this World'! Jesus Himself set the example. til next time....meditate on these few verses ...there are many more that refer to when Jesus went off to pray....
Mark 1:35
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
Luke 6:12
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
Mark 6:46
After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.
After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.
Luke 5:16
But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray
