John 14: 27 - "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Our lives are so busy. Always on the go. Constant rushing, talking on the phone, being on the computer, loosing our focus on what is important. Should our lives be like this, never a quiet moment.
Jesus knew it was important to withdraw from the crowds to gain strength for his task and peace for His soul. He knew that he needed time spent with God, listening and talking so He could continue the work He came to do. We are no different. We need quiet time with our heavenly Father listening for His direction, to rest in His arms, finding peace and stillness in our busy lives.
Ask God to help you come before him with a quiet heart, free of schedules and routines, to not be preoccupied and to keep your focus on Him so you can listen for His voice.
