Today's Scripture *January 7, 2010*
Mark 1: 35-37
Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. Later Simon and the others went out to find him. When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
Were the disciples impatient that Jesus prayed in solitude while so much ministry work waited to be done? How would you have responded? If you had been the one to find Jesus in prayer? It's easy to be so caught up with ministry that you neglect times of solitude, individual worship, and prayer. Perhaps you need to redesign your schedule to find time for earnest prayer. It is vitally important to:
(1) seek the Lord before your busy schedule takes over your thoughts;
(2) withdraw from noise and demands so you can focus on God;
(3) take Jesus' attitude of regular communion with the Father;
(4) reflect on the priorities Jesus had for His life;
(5) determine to pray on a more regular basis, not just in times of crisis. If prayer was important for Jesus, then it must be even more important for His followers. Pray--even if you have to get up early in the morning or stay up late at night to do it!
Psalm 119: 147 I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
Proverbs 31: 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Holy Word to us today.
Help us to get better at prayer! We want to spend more time in Your presence.
We want to have regular times of communion with You.
Show us the changes that we need to make in order to build up a solid prayer life.
We want to spend time with You, Lord. Guide us as we seek more of You..
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless!
