In the fast-paced narrative of Mark, we find this quick quip about Jesus. “Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.” (Mark 1:35 NLT) The context indicates that this was a regular practice of Jesus, as He sought quiet time with the Father. For many years I have carved out the early morning hour to study Scripture and pray. It is truly amazing to see the calm this brings to my mind and heart. As Paul put it: “The peace of God will build a fortress around your heart and mind.” (Phil. 4:7-8 my translation) Every day brings new challenges, and every day brings new peace from the Lord. And He shall have all the glory.
