Luke 5:16 (NIV84) — 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Withdrew. Lonely. I am musing on this today. Withdrawing away from traffic, jobs, people, phones, computers, tablets, kids, spouse isn't that easy around here. It isn't like most of us have the woods in our backyard. Can I find a place to withdraw from noise? How about the noise in my head? This is going to take some practice. If you had a place, would you go there? Does quiet bother you? Lonely is alone, as in nobody is around to interrupt you. Where is this place? All I know is I have to find it. You have to find it. For yourself. For the people around you. For your relationship with God. Find a place where you won't be distracted or interrupted. Then the conversation can be two way and your heart will be encouraged.
