Today we were reminded that Jesus is not just a message to believe, but a pattern to follow. One key lesson from His life is that He often withdrew to pray. He prayed about everything from choosing His disciples and even when being baptised. Prayer is the place where weakness is exchanged for strength. In Gethsemane, burdened with sorrow, Jesus prayed until He was ready to face the cross. We too are revived and empowered when we meet with God in prayer. Love for God must show in devotion. Withdraw, pray, and keep your heart burning.
Don’t settle for a lukewarm faith. Let the prayer lessons from Jesus set you ablaze again.
