In the Gospels we see many times Jesus seeking out desolate & deserted places to pray. For this is where He fought His spiritual battles. In Mark 1:12 we read where the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness…the meaning of “drove” here that of Divine and Scriptural necessity. Even in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was by Himself, away from others as He struggled in prayer. So why is secluded prayer important? To start, it’s a way of shutting out the noise of the world and all its distractions…and that includes our phones. It’s a chance to really focus on God and allow Him to speak to you through Scripture and prayer. And finally, like Jesus, it’s an opportunity to take important issues to God…asking for wisdom, direction, and Divine insight.
