"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
It's hard for me to imagine Jesus needing prayer. The Son of God who came from heaven and helped create the universe...the one who not only had seen the Father's glory but was filled with it? He needed prayer? Yet there it is, right in the text. I can't help but think about how cool it would have been to see or hear Jesus praying! I wonder if he brought a cup of coffee with Him. I'm sure He did.
I am learning to enjoy the early morning hours, especially at our house when everyone is still asleep. There is something special about the quiet & stillness of a new day. Your thoughts are fresh. You can hear the birds welcoming a new day as they worship their Creator. It's such a blessing & encouragment to know that each day is a fresh start and filled with new mercies from the Lord.
Each of us need's our own time with Jesus to praise Him, worship Him and hear from Him. If the Son of God needed time alone in prayer, how much more do we?
