Take me Deeper into Your Love
Uit de diepte roep ik tot u, HEER,Heer, hoor mijn stem,
wees aandachtig, luister naar mijn roep om genade.

A Solitary Place
Written by Suzanne Benner
?When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place? (Matthew 14:13).
?Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed? (Mark 1:35).
?But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed? (Luke 5:16).
In the gospels, we see a pattern in Jesus? life of seeking solitude. Jesus sought out quiet times to be with God. It is an example that we need to follow.
Is there no quiet place for you to go?
Though the noise of our daily lives is great, sometimes the noise within our hearts is greater. We cannot be still because we are afraid of the quiet. We keep running, hoping that the hurts we have received, the pain of our own failures and our restless thoughts won?t catch up to us. We are so tired, but we can?t stop.
It is time to stop running.
It is time to make seeking out a solitary place to be with God a priority.
It is time to be still.
?Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him? (Psalm 37:7)
?Be still, and know that I am God? (Psalm 46:10)
~Heavenly Father,
I want to pattern my life after Jesus. Help me to withdraw from the busyness around me to spend time in prayer. Show me how to be still and wait on You.
