Q1. (Mark 1:33-39) What pattern do you see emerging in Jesus’ prayer life? Why do you think he spends Quiet Time with the Father before the day begins? How does this prepare him for his ministry? How did the disciple desires for Jesus differ from what Jesus felt impelled to do? (Mark 1:37-38) Why? Do you have a Quiet Time? What could you do to improve the quality of your time with God each day? In becoming human, Jesus gave up his glorified status. He was truely human, not only to feel and experience what we do but also to show us how to live as God intended. As a human, he prayed to stay connected and have relationship with his father just as we should. To have an intimate relationship, it is necessary to spend one on one time with someone, including God. My children love when I give them one on one time, just as my Father wants me to give Him one on one undistracted time. Today's world even makes it harder to do this. Having this time not only to speak with God but also to LISTEN to Him will give us what we need to do His work. The disciples at this point did not get this, they were still learning. Jesus was setting the example for us. I do practice quiet time but not consistently as I should. To be more consistent, I can set that same time everyday that I know will not be disrupted by the outside world.
