"In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there." Mark 1:35
Why would God need to get up early and go pray? Because He is the Son of Man, the demands, that He chose, were constant and He needed that quiet time to be in relationship with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Do you deny yourself sleep and the warmth of your bed to get up early to be in relationship with the Triune God. You have many demands on you as well, there is peace in listening to God early in the day when the mind is at rest. Jesus, had to make the same decision, do I listen to my body or do I seek my Father in Heaven. He chose wisely, what will you do?
Dear Triune God, I see the humanity of Jesus facing the same decisions I must make, I thank You for the desire to be with You. I thank You for the peace in the quiet of the morning and the quiet of my heart. You prepare me for the day ahead and the demands it has. Thank You Father for sending Your Son Jesus to be our example and for the guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Give us the grace to carry Jesus with us throughout the entire day. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
