After He had dismissed them, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. Later that night, He was there alone. (Matthew 14:23)
When it gets tricky to find quiet moments Jesus understands us…Jesus knew He needed solitude when people were pulling and tugging at Him with their needs & desire to learn of Him. We read that Jesus withdrew to be by himself and pray ...Before His public ministry, He spent 40 days in the wilderness. Before laying his life on the cross, He spent time alone…
As parents it can get busy, demanding and taxing on some days. If we have sick days it can be rough on us, on the children with disturbed nights’ or longer nights. Although Parenthood isn’t easy, it is VERY rewarding when we get a friendly smile, a loving hug, a caring look and a heart-to-heart talk!! But with all of the noise, all the busyness we still need to be renewed, refreshed and re-charged by spending time with God….
When we feel at the verge of being worn-out..what we really need is, a lone time with God, to recharge and refill us !! Life’s demand will never end but let us ask God for the wisdom to make time/space to stop everything and spend time with God!!
