From Luke 6:12:  “Now during those days He went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.”

Needing to rest awhile

Overwhelmed, countless thoughts

Looking for special place

Mind bound in endless knots

Seeking time for prayer

Faced with fleeting choices

Searching for quiet place

Away from past voices

Hiking to mountaintop

Filled with Spirit’s insight

Trusting every new step

God welcomes with His light

Being alone with God

Bottled up words speak out

Praying for hours on end

Life’s course now comes about

Hearing from God’s wisdom

Blessed words offer grace

Quelling battle within

Always, God’s quiet place

From Luke 5:16:  “Meanwhile, He would slip away to deserted places and pray.”
