Dear God,
Through time spent alone with you I am rejuvenated and gain a new perspective.

Rest in Prayer
We are reminded again in Mark 1 how important it is for us to rest. Jesus gives us another example of taking time alone after a long day on the job. The very next morning, after driving out several demons and healing many diseased, Jesus "got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed."
There have been so many instances in my past where I have tried to push my way through struggles and stresses. I had an "I" mentality. I needed to work harder, or I needed to make changes. In reality, the only thing that soothed my racing heart and mind was spending time alone in prayer and meditation. There was nothing I could do alone. With faith in God the possibilities are limitless.
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God."
