A Solitary Place

 

     My husband and I are both introverts by nature. I love being home alone, studying, reading and writing. We both love our friends and family, but we are often the first to leave a gathering. We spend most of each day together, but we both appreciate the reality of the man cave.

     Today, even for you extroverts, try to embrace your inner introvert. God will meet you right where you are. Even for us solitary souls, we are never alone. Knowing Him and His word and what He says about our short lives on earth allows us to fulfill the purpose He has in store for each of us.

     Jesus often went away by Himself to pray.

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went ff to a solitary place where He prayed. Mark 1:35

At daybreak, Jesus went off to a solitary place. The people were looking for Him and when they came to where He was, they tried to keep Him from leaving them. Luke 4:42

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Luke 5;16

     If the Son of God Himself needed time to withdraw and pray, how much more is it necessary for us?

Lord,

Remind us to spend time with You. Let that be a priority in our lives. Help us to prioritize You above all else and give us those in need of prayer.

In Jesus name,

Amen
