Jesus prayed! He would even disappear for an entire night of prayer.
I’m thinking of one night in particular. The day began with the news of
the death of John the Baptist. Grief-stricken, Jesus sought to retreat
with His disciples, yet spent the day teaching and healing people who
followed him. When it was discovered the crowd had no food, Jesus
multiplied bread out of a basket and fed the entire multitude. In the
span of a few hours, he battled sorrow, stress, demands and needs. He
deserved to rest. Yet when evening came, he told the crowd to leave and
the disciples to board their boat.
Mark 6:46 tells us, “He went up into the hills by himself to pray.” Lord, teach us to pray like that! To find strength in prayer. Teach us to experience a heart connection with God instead of settling for a prayer wish list for God!
