But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray

LUKE 5:16

I am, without a doubt, a creature of habit. I do certain things the same way, in the same order, at the same time day after day, and week after week. Plus, when that routine or habit is broken or even just shaken oh my, look out! I am a disoriented mess!

Such was the case recently; my household has been dealing with the dreaded stomach “bug”. Because different family members have fought it at different times in the previous weeks, my usual schedule and routine is very much askew! For the most part I’ve tried to keep myself together, this week however has been a different story. The worst thing, I wasn’t the sick individual! Yet, I was feeling the effects, so much so I couldn’t even concentrate to do my bible study and that’s really bad because I’m the leader!

Thank God above for awesome group members who took over and lead the group. Plus, an author who looked ahead and placed the answers in the back of the book!

God watches over, and also out for, each of His precious children. Jesus followed routines by Involving himself in prayer. Even if He had to sneak away he followed His routine; turning to the Father for guidance and answers.

Dear God help me to always go through my routines, especially those involving your word! Amen
