"Very early the next morning, Jesus got up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray." Mark 1:35 (CEV)
If Jesus did it and He was, I mean—IS, God, then I think maybe we should do it, too. My pastor said during a church service that when we open our Bibles, God opens His mouth. I can tell you that when I get up in the morning and read my Bible and pray, God is with me—and I can feel it.
I have a wonderful friend who is also my prayer partner. We try to meet every week to talk about our lives and pray together. If a couple of weeks go by, I feel distant from her. I know she's there but I don't feel as close as when we talk and pray together every week.
If you are feeling distant from God, You might check to see how often you're getting away to talk to Him.
Let's Pray Mark 1:35 (CEV)
Lord,
I know that if Jesus got up early in the morning to spend time with you then I need to do it, too. I pray you'll help me to know what I need to stop doing so I can make time in the morning with you a priority. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Here's one step you can take to reconnect with God:
Write down one thing to eliminate from your schedule so you can spend time with God in the morning.
We started with the "T" in T.H.R.I.V.E.:

Kristy
