[Mark 1:35-37]
v 35 -- And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
v 36 -- And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
v 37 -- And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
Are you unable to make time to pray and seek God because "all men seek for you"? Take a pause and consider Jesus' life.

The temptation to be absorbed in work and even ministering to the legitimate needs of men is the bane of many influential people.
Don't fall for it. There is no human need greater than the need for prayer. Make time to pray into your service to people and then it will truly be something entrusted to God.
Squeeze for the time to pray, fight for the time to spend time with God alone. Even church meetings cannot replace this. Make room for yourself and have a closet prayer time.

God endeavours to give us an example in Jesus in almost every situation of life. Here he shows us busy believers how our days should start.
"Please pray"
