Prayer
However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. Luke 5:15-16
“He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.”
Jesus, the Son of God, withdrew regularly and sought the Father’s face and counsel.
The crowds were large and needy and He healed their infirmities.
He found Himself in the midst of the crowds regularly.
He was busy.
He was in demand.
Yet, He made the time to withdraw by Himself and pray.
Prayer nourishes the soul.
Prayer strengthens the body and the mind.
Prayer is the answer to any question you have in your life. Prayer must be a priority in your life. Time with the Father will guide and direct your feet and teach you who you really are in the midst of the busyness.
Relationship with the Father will put all other things in perspective.
Corporate prayer is important but withdrawing to a place with the Father by yourself is also essential.
Our relationship with Him is deeply personal and can be deeply intimate if we cultivate it.
If Jesus required time by Himself in prayer, then surely we require the same.
Begin to prioritize prayer today; the Lord will redeem the time!
