Spending time with God

After sending the people away, he went up a hill by himself to pray. When evening came, Jesus was there alone.

Matthew 14:23 GNBDK

Reflection:

In between of feeding the five thousand and walking on water there is something that Jesus does that isn't paid attention too, because the miracles draws us in. This something is praying alone and spending time with God. We want God to work in our lives yet we don't want to spend time with him. We don't want to build a personal relationship with him. As long our needs are met through our intercessions we are good. But we ought to know that only when establish a personal relationship with God, will we able to walk on water and he will enable us to feed the multitudes. 

Prayer:

I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to establish and build a relationship with him based on love and understanding, just like Jesus his son did. May you emulate Jesus as you spend time in prayer and solitude and may his Holy Spirit give you the words and guide you as you pray. Amen 

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
