A quiet place

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. Mark 1:35

The people came from everywhere to see Jesus.  News of his divine healings and powerful preaching had spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.   Wherever He went they came.  The sick.  The curious.  The demon possessed.  So many needs and so little time.

In the flesh, Jesus suffered from many of the same limitations we face.  He could only be in one place at a time.  He only had so many hours in the day.  He got tired.  Jesus needed a quiet place.  So early in the morning, while others slept, he went to a solitary place and prayed.  Where do you go when life presses down on you?  We all need a quiet place where we can be alone with Him.

He knows what you face and He will meet you there.
