Scripture
Luke 5:16 As often as possible Jesus withdrew to out-of-the-way places for prayer.
Observation
I'm guilty at times of reading too quickly - this extends to the bible. That can mean that I catch the main point of sentences but not always the totality & nuances.
First time round I started this verse at the word 'Jesus' & was taken with the challenge to withdraw for prayer. Second time around, I started at 'As' & was confronted with the fact that Jesus not only did this, but did it as often as He could.
Application
At 'my best' I crave God's presence through His word & prayer (including silence). I need to need that so as not to be able to exist outside of Him.
Prayer
Please make me more mindful of You & increasingly reliant on You
Thank you - Jonathan
