Private Prayer: "Quiet Time" With God

The great British preacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones wrote: "Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when, upon his knees, he comes face to face with God." One of the greatest encouragements to pray or the greatest display of our need for prayer is the fact of Jesus' private prayer. Throughout His life on earth, Jesus seized the opportunity to be alone with the Father, praying in secret. Jesus invites us to join Him in His secret place. May we not allow present-day distractions to stop us from spending time alone with God.
