Today’s reading is Matthew 14:22-36
“Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:22-23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Matthew says, “he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,”. Jesus spent a lot of time with the Father praying. If Jesus needed to spend so much time, how much time do we need? Jesus had this perfect balance in all situations. He was compassionate, yet stern at times. He was fun, but also serious. He knew exactly who He was because of the time He spent with the Father. Jesus had the fruit of the Spirit and He wants us to have it at all times too. Please pray that we and our friends spend as much time as needed today with Jesus until He gives us the peace that only He can give. Please pray for Jesus to wrap His arms around Debbie, Makenna and Kole and give them a peace that only He can give.
