Billy Graham
In spite of His hectic public ministry,
Jesus was never too hurried to spend hours in prayer.
By Contrast, how quickly and carelessly we pray (if we pray at all).
In the morning we hastily ask for His blessing on our day,
then say good-bye to God for the rest of the day until we rush through
a few closing thoughts at night. This is not what Jesus modeled.
Jesus prayed deeply and repeatedly. He spent entire nights in
fervent appeal to God. How different is our pattern of prayer!
He went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.
Matthew 14:24
