Alone time. We all need it. Time to recharge, time to reflect. How do you spend your alone time? Usually we spend it doing something we enjoy that we don't normally get to do. For me this usually involves outdoor activity other than yard work! A long walk, a bike ride or just sitting, relaxing and listening to the sounds of nature around me.
Jesus needed alone time too. Several times we see Jesus go off by Himself. Jesus's alone time was always spent in prayer and communion with God the Father.
Luke 4:1Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
Mark 1:35
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.

Next time you have some alone time, try spending it as Jesus did, in prayer and communion with God the Father.
Matthew 14:22-23
22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that His disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while He sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. Night fell while He was there alone.
