Quiet Solitude

Jesus went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone (Matthew 14:23).

“Oh, the thought of having God all alone to myself, and knowing that God has me all alone to Himself!”*

*Andrew Murray as quoted in Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman, p. 403.

 

A Place of Prayer: Mount Arbel, Israel

He stood on Mount Arbel, overlooking Galilee, remembering that Jesus, when he lived here,  “went up on the mountain by himself to pray (Matthew 14:23).”

And standing there, he prayed, because Jesus said, “Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:24).”
