Withdrawing To Pray

 

He used to slip off by Himself,
To talk to God and pray.
I find as I grow older that
I, too, seek that each day. 

I’m not as diligent as He,
Nor as faithful, at all,
But I have found such comfort in
Listening for His call.
 
I sit in stillness some might find
Boring, without value.
For me, the time I spend with Him
Is a gift, rare and true.
 
The world is busy enough and
Its noise weighs down on me.
The time I spend with Him in praise
Lifts me up, sets me free.
 
I think that’s why He called me to
This daily praise I write.
I need the silence it requires
To hear Him, see His Light.
 
Take my advice, as I took His,
Sit down, be still, and hear
The sound of His love and guidance
Whispering in your ear.
 
Luke 5:16 
But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.
 
Jeremiah 31:25 
For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.
