Lonely places & Prayer

 

Scripture

Luke 5:16

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

 

Observation

There where miracles, people being healed either side of this sentence!

Jesus need strengthening, needs his spirit filled rejuvenated, he needed time alone with God.

 

Application

If Jesus needed this often, then we need it even more.

This simple statement just highlights how important our prayer life needs to be to us.

To think Jesus, Gods own son, the one perfect person to ever walk on the earth! The one person who never did anything wrong never did the things we do daily – he often withdrew to

Lonely places and prayed. He knew what he needed and he did it, he knew the important it was to spend time with God.

To help our intimate relationship grow, to be able to hear his voice, to follow, to obey, to be strengthened, refreshed and filled, to follow the example Jesus showed us.

 

Prayer

Dear Lord, forgive me when l turn to other things or others instead of you. Help me to put you and prayer time in proper priority in my life. In Jesus name Amen
