Nicolaes Maes, 1600s
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words.
Psalm 119:147
In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.
Mark 1:35
Too busy? Too tired? We can always come up with some excuse. I agree with Sister Maria. If you spend the first minute of your day with God, there you will spend the entire day. Read Sister Maria's thoughts about finding time to pray at One Place. Her words are from Day by Day with the Persecuted Church, compiled by Jan Pit, thought provoking devotions by persecuted Christians from around the world. Sister Maria uses a pseudonym.
