Mark 6:45 & 46 (NKJV)
Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.
There are so many good life lessons that Jesus teaches in this one short scripture, here is one - Jesus knew that sometimes He had to get away from all distractions, His disciples, His people, and life in general to be alone with His Father - it is no different for you and I
And now the rest of the story - While Jesus was praying, having a conversation with His Father - His Spirit, His Helper, and our Helper - told Him His disciples were in harms way - Jesus could have done many things - From the mountain top He simply could have spoken a word and all would have been well - But He did not, He walked to the problem - Often it is good to address the problem calmly, thoughtfully and slowly - Often it is best not to take hasty action - When you have problems in life allow the Holy Spirit guide you to the solution - PRAY!
Abba, Father what an awesome Father You are that You have give us a Helper to guide us and direct us through all the pitfalls of life and all we have to do is stop and pray, have a meaningful conversation with our Father; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
