ask yourself
to
WITHDRAW
from things that consume your time and energy in ministry- meetings, emails, texts, calls, deadlines, fast pace of life, expectations, demands and responsibilities.
to the
WILDERNESS
a place away from noise, busyness, and the distractions
of the world. Jesus modeled how to withdraw from people to the wilderness for prayer, even when vast crowds sought Him.
for
PRAYER
unity with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus will give you rest,
as you take His yoke and allow Him to teach you. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead and He will guide and direct your stay.
for
PEACE
be still and know that He is God, He is your refuge and strength. God is close to those who trust in Him. Spend time seeking Him and receive His gift of peace of mind and heart.
