Prioritize Prayer

Reflection

As we embark on this 21-day journey, it is helpful to remind ourselves that Jesus prayed! Right at the beginning of His ministry here on earth, we see our Lord experiencing breakthrough. He heals Peter’s mother-in-law and then we see that “The whole town gathered at the door.” This is our dream - that the whole town would gather at the doors of our communities and encounter Jesus, but even in the middle of this success and breakthrough we see that Jesus took time to pray.

As we seek breakthrough we must take the time to pray.

Jesus comes back from his time of prayer and says, Mark 1:38 “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” Fresh vision and new direction come as He prays.

Prayer

Lord forgive me for those times when I have been so caught up in all that is good and in the breakthrough of the moment, that I forgot to pray. Lord may I never forget to spend time with you.
