May 14 The Power of God’s Word
One day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to pray and he prayed to God all night. –Luke 6:12(NLT)
PRAY AT ALL TIMES
A poem by ILMA
Jesus always went to a quiet place
He made it a point to be with God always
Whenever he got busy with his ministry
He runs to be alone with his Father unfailingly.
Do you pray at all times to your heavenly Father?
It helps you be strong to handle worldly matters
It keeps you connected to your source of might
It helps you discern and gain insight.
The bible describes to us how often Jesus went to a quiet place like the mountain top or a garden to spend quality time with God. He didn’t want any distraction as he connects with him. When he finished healing and teaching people, he always finds a way to escape the world’s noise to be one with his heavenly father. It seems like he draws strength and power from God so he can continue working for his kingdom.
In our “busy”ness, we get so wrapped up in the things we do in this world. We become idolaters of our careers, families, friends, ministries, possessions. We fail to see that it is God who gave us all that we have.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to remember to pray at all times.
REFLECTION
Why do we need to pray more when we are busy and have more challenges?
