Pray to the Father

This is the view from one of my favorite places to have quiet prayer time. I used to make it a regular practice of retreating to this spot to spend time talking and listening to God. But, too often, I get myself too busy to be able to make it out there.

Of course, we all know that the location of our prayer time doesn't matter. We can pray any time, any where.

But, looking at the life of Jesus, He often retreated to quiet places to pray. Sometimes we need that...a place where we can remove the distractions of the day and get serious with God.

I stumbled upon this verse today...it's from the Message translation..."If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help." (James 1:5). I don't know about you, but that's an encouraging word to me because I never know what I'm doing!
