Take time to be alone in a quiet place

Morning: Psalm 119:1-24; Isaiah 41:1-16; Ephesians 2:1-10

Evening: Psalms 12, 13, 14; Mark 1:29-45

In today’s story, Jesus is extremely busy healing and teaching, but still, “In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.” We may feel quite isolated in these pandemic days, but all around there is also an atmosphere of flurry and crisis that is noisy and disturbing to the spirit. Can we learn from Jesus, who took time to be alone and quiet? This could be a vital discipline for our times, too. Archbishop Desmond Tutu says: “I am far too busy not to pray.”
