The NIV 365 Day Devotional
Duration: 365 days
Praying Jesus’ Way
This passage reveals some valuable information regarding Jesus’ prayer life. First, he got up very early to pray. He purposefully set aside a time to talk to God. Not just any chunk of time, either; he met with God at the beginning of his day when his head was clearest. Before the nagging details and responsibilities of daily life crowded in on him.
Second, Jesus understood the importance of solitude. He went to a remote location where he wouldn’t be disturbed or interrupted. He put himself in an environment where he could focus his complete attention on God.
If you’re struggling in your prayer life, try following Jesus’ model for a month or so. You may be surprised at how much it helps.
