Just Have to Be Alone
They say extroverts get energised by being with other people, and introverts get energised by being alone. Well, I’ve learnt that sometimes, whoever you are, you just have to be alone.
And that’s true about prayer as well.
Sometimes I just need to be alone… to pray.
I need to create space in my life to clarify my focus and my thoughts in prayer. I need to be able to hear God’s voice over the “busyness” of the world.
Jesus often prayed just short, little, micro-prayers. Like, he would be speaking to a crowd, and suddenly he would say something to his Father in heaven. But he also needed to spend time alone in prayer.
I’d even go as far as to say that some of my most memorable experiences in my life are things that only God and I know about, because they happened while I’ve been spending time in prayer alone. How about you? How do you connect?
Sometimes I just need to be alone to pray.
