WHEN JESUS PRAYED

 WHEN JESUS PRAYED

TEXT: “And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed.”    Mark 1:35

Jesus practiced what He preached.

He also practiced what He prayed!

This truth loses most people when it talks about, “rising very early in the morning.” Many people today are sluggards and sleepyheads and have to drag themselves out of bed every day. Not so with Jesus for He evidently was an early riser. A man on a mission. Focused. Driven.

“Went out to a desolate place” = a quiet place, somewhere away from all the noise and distractions of life. Away from the TV and people and stuff. Somewhere He could focus on what is really important. Do you have such a place? A room in the house? The garage? The car? 

You do not have to get up at 4:00 a.m. to be a true Christian or prayer warrior. You do not have to go to a desolate place to pray. However, you should be praying, earnestly, somewhere, every day! And you should be doing it consistently.

Pray WHEN you feel like it.

When WHEN YOU DON’T feel like it.

Pray UNTIL YOU DO feel like it.

But by all means pray! Jesus did!
