Jesus Often Got Alone To Pray

Jesus Often Got Alone To Pray

This week, as part of our summer school of prayer here at Prayer Point, we look to the life of Christ as a reminder to stay steady in prayer during the busy summer months. It amazes me to read that even at the height of His ministry and fame, Jesus was often sneaking away to pray alone—at times even all night long (Luke 5:16, 6:12). I often think to myself, if the Son of God needed to pray that much, how much more do folks like me and you? I know that summer can be a busy time, especially for those with kids in the mix, but remember how important it is to get alone with God. Being in the secret place ensures our connection with Him, that our faith stays strong and that our joy remains full. Now that’s something to pray about!
