Despite the demands made upon his time, or
perhaps because of them, Jesus found time to go
to a lonely place and pray. His power and
strength came not from himself but from the
Father. At our worship today we too draw our
strength from a God whom we need when we are at
our busiest.
In the morning,
long before dawn,
he got up and left the house,
and went off to a lonely place
and prayed there. (Mark 1:35)
