Living in Increase (Part 7) - Increase in PrayerНамуна

Withdraw Often

It is essential to become part of the Body of Christ by serving, being a part of the Life-Giving Community, helping out where you see a need, etc. However, even the Son of God would “often withdraw” to lonely places to pray. He needed to be filled, and He needed to be alone with His Father. He needed to seek and find.

If Jesus Himself took time out of the busyness of ministry to pray, isn’t it prideful to think we don’t need to do the same? As believers, we must make a habit of living in Godly community but also making time to be alone with God!

Action Step: Evaluate your motives. Are you praying because you have to, or are you praying because you get to? The best way to know if you are in the right mindset is to pray and commit your plans to the Lord.
