Chi-Chi
Very early in the morning, long before dawn, Jesus got up&left the house and went off to a lonely place and prayed there.(Mark1:35).
None of us can ever be as busy or holy as Jesus was while He was on earth. Yet, he saw the need to withdraw from everyone and everything in order to have a quiet time with his Heavenly Father. The value of private meditative prayer can never be over emphasised. Indeed, it is in peace and solitude that a devout soul finds God!
Our busy lives would be more rewarding to us and others if we spend a quiet hour/ time in prayer before we rush into the activities that demand so much of our time. The busier we are, the more prayerful we should be. We should make out time to pray/ commune with God as often as we can, all through the day.
Prayer is not so much about the words we say but about being present with God,being conscious of God's presence every hour of our day and acknowledging his presence by our thoughts,words,or actions. There is a need to recreate yourself in God at every given opportunity by communing with him.
Let us remember: you cannot be doing the work of the Lord and yet abandon the Lord of the work. Endeavour to spend time in private prayer with your God EVERYDAY.
Remain blessed!!!
