“But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.” Luke 5:15-16
I think as believers of Christ we can emulate a brilliant attitude here, making room for the Spirit. Never would there be a completely perfect circumstance to pray, except if God helps you create one, but you can escape to do so. Even seemingly good things can intercept your prayer time, ministry engagements too can take over that opportunity. But Christ knew how to overcome this pressure- slip away. If one must tiptoe to the quiet desk, or whisper some words to God whilst caught in traffic, or perhaps take a trip to some lonely place to have some clarity to pray. Then we must. In praying is a chance for renewed strength from God in the vicissitudes of life. Knowing that God Himself took responsibility for his time, you too may need to adjust schedules to pray to God, so you can be in a good spiritual place to pray for others. Dry cisterns don’t pour out water.
God bless.
Evangelist Israel Okunwaye
