Mark 6:45-46

The Gospel of Mark highlights how hectic life was for Jesus during his ministry.  He was always busy preaching, teaching, healing and traveling.  Crowds at every stop demanded his attention.  But even as Jesus lovingly reached out to those around him, the gospels point out that he habitually found time to be alone for prayer and communion with the Heavenly Father.

In the rat-race of our lives, it is also very important for us to “interrupt” our busy schedules for time alone with God.  As with Jesus, it gives us an opportunity to spiritually “recharge” – allowing Christ to equip us for the tasks ahead.
