Spend some time in quiet listening to the Lord. Catherine Martin writes directly to women, encouraging you to create an intentional prayer life and meditate on God's Word.

Come Away

Come away with me by yourselves to a quiet place and rest a little while.

Mark 6:31, WILLIAMS

The disciples had just completed their first missionary trip. They told Jesus everything they had accomplished. How would He respond? Would He send them out again after their good report? Jesus, by example and words, teaches every disciple of His what to do when life gets busy. He said, “Come away with Me.”

You’ve undoubtedly experienced times when you had so much on your plate that you didn’t even know where to begin. Your task list is sometimes longer than the hours in a day. Do you know what the opposite of busy is? Quiet. A quiet place was the special location Jesus had in mind for His followers on that event-filled day.

Are you busy right now in your own life? Can you hear Jesus inviting you, even imploring you, “Come away with Me” to a quiet place and rest a little while? Will you say yes to His invitation today?

Lord, I want to come away with You to a quiet place today. Amen.
