Priorities

 A Kingdom Leader always makes time to find solitude and seek guidance from the heavenly Father. He understands the need to find privacy in the midst of his busy schedules. No matter how many people are clamoring for his attention he makes time for the most important appointment. Prayer time alone with God.
 
Did you spend time in prayer this morning? When was the last time you found a solitary place? Have you ever left the house to find one? Are your prayer habits prompted by difficult circumstances or crisis events? Consider making individual and private prayer a high priority in your activities.
 

• 35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.  Mark 1:35 (NIV)

Jesus had only a few things that were revealed as a habit. This was one of them. Going away to a lonely place to pray and find answers to the issues that exasperate you.
 
We pray that you can find a safe place to share your concerns, needs, dreams and desires with our heavenly father. That is where your priorities are established.
