But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private (Matthew 6:6; NLT).
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed (Mark 1:35; NIV).
Lord,
The greatest luxury
On earth is time –
Time to be alone with you
In quiet contemplation,
So I can still my mind,
Wait patiently in silence,
Listen for your voice,
And seek your face.
