I am refreshed and renewed as I step into quiet moments of prayer.
Jesus
knew the value of taking time alone to pray. He demonstrated it as he
stepped away from the crowds he was teaching for periods of renewal. I
follow this example when I step away from the routine of the day—even
for a moment—to pray. I leave those things that call for my attention during the day for
just one or two minutes to step into the stillness of prayer. Here in
this sacred moment, I breathe, I release, and I open to Spirit. I touch
the presence of God within me and know I am never alone. I come away
from this moment with a new outlook, ready to return to the task at
hand. Pausing throughout the day renews my spirit and refreshes my mind and body. I am effective and productive in all I do.
Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray.—Luke 6:12
