And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray.
When evening came, he was there alone. (Matthew 14:23
NRSV)
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness," the granddaughter wrote. "I sit in the playpen for an hour
every afternoon, and the children can't get near me!"
We all need a little time alone each day and some time each day for God. It is in our time with
God that we will find refreshment and renewal. After all, Jesus took time away for rest and
prayer. We need some time too.

A grandmother decided to send a new playpen to her granddaughter for the birth of the
granddaughter's fourth child. A week later the grandmother received a thank you note.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for your example of leaving the crowds to spend time in
prayer. Help me to follow faithfully in your footsteps. Amen.
