Slices of Solitude

Reflect

It can be exhausting just thinking about all Jesus did! However, with a little detective work, we can find verses indicating that he did find some slices of solitude—sometimes with his Apostles, sometimes completely alone. Even the Son of God needed his down time—his time to pray in peace, his time to rest, his time in seclusion.


Pray

Jesus, you, too, felt the pressures of the world to do one more thing—
to go and go.
Help me to imitate you by stopping, finding a place alone,
and just hanging out with you.
Help me to refresh my soul with times of quiet and seclusion.


Act

Imitate Jesus today by carving out some alone time for yourself—with nothing but a heart for prayer. Find your mountain.
