Good morning, church family! Last week, we began our Pray series by diving into the Lord’s Prayer, where Jesus taught us how to pray. Today, we’re focusing on why prayer is so vital by looking at the example Jesus Himself set. Throughout the Gospels, we see that Jesus frequently withdrew from the crowds to pray and spend time with His Father. This wasn’t just about finding a quiet place—it was about prioritizing intimacy with God in the midst of a busy and demanding life. If the Son of God, who was constantly surrounded by people and responsibilities, made space to connect with His Father, how much more should we? This morning, we’ll explore what it means to follow Jesus’ example of withdrawing to pray—how it refreshes our souls, strengthens our faith, and helps us stay aligned with God’s will. Let’s dive in and learn how withdrawing to prayer can transform our walk with God.
