Luke 5:16 - And he
withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Jesus
had been working tirelessly, teaching and healing great crowds. He and his
disciples had not even had a chance to eat. Jesus was so tired that He decided
to go apart to refresh himself. What He did was while he was separate is out of
the ordinary. Instead of resting or lounging with His disciples, He prayed to
renew His strength.
When we are feeling weary, we usually prescribe rest,
medication, leisure, or a vacation. Is it possible that what we need is simple
prayer? The next time you feel weary, follow Christ’s example and cast all your
cares upon the Lord. You will feel rejuvenated.
