April 17 The Power of God’s Word
Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. –Mark 1:35 (NLT)
PRAYING IN SOLITUDE
A poem by ILMA
Do you find time each day to isolate from this world?
Do you seek God and study his word?
Jesus went to a place apart from the rest
He went to God to consult him and get blessed.
When no one is looking
That’s the best time for praying
Uninterrupted moments with our father
It will bring us to his kingdom closer.
We live in a world full of noise and distractions. We do everything to reach our goals in life. We provide for ourselves and our families. In the process, we get consumed by this world and lose perspective of who we are and who we belong to. We don’t prioritize praying to our heavenly father who provides for all our needs.
Jesus, the son of God always knew his priorities. The bible says that even before daybreak, he got up and went to an isolated place to pray. This was right after Jesus healed so many sick people. In the midst of ministering to the sick and broken people, Jesus found time to go to his father just before he face another crowd of people who would clamor for more miracles and healing.
PRAYER
Lord, allow me to be with you intimately often.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to have a quiet place to pray?
