Jesus regularly withdrew to pray in the wilderness, modeling a practice believers should follow. The speaker argues that stepping back from daily distractions like family and work creates space to hear God's voice more clearly.
God's voice? Let's go. Luke chapter 5, verses 16, it says, but Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. Well, why did Jesus do that a lot throughout his earthly ministry? Well, Jesus is emulating the things that we should be doing in order to have a relationship with him and his Father. And so whenever you find out that whenever you withdraw yourself from the people, one of the things that you find out is, is that you can start to hear God's voice very clearly because you don't have the distractions of kids or anything else that may be bothering you at that given point in time. So one of the key things to understand is, is that you should be withdrawing yourself from time to time in order to hear your Father's voice. And that's not something that will be a negative on your family or a distraction on your work or other things. At the end of the day, God's your priority, and you should be prioritizing your time with him in order for you to be able to build a relationship with him. God bless.
