Jesus Takes Some Quiet Time For Prayer:

"Rising early the next morning, he went off to a lonely place in the desert; there he was absorbed in prayer." (Mark 1.35). St. Paul tells us in 2 Thessalonians: "We pray for you always that our God may make you worthy of his call, and fulfill by his power every honest intention and work of faith. In this way the name of our Lord Jesus, may be glorified in you and you in him, in accord with the gracious gift of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.:
(2 Thessalonians 1. 11-12). Today Lord, ask for the grace of a prayerful and listening heart.
