This week's devotion is entitled:


One


But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
~Luke 5:16

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
~Luke 6:12

Both of these verses are examples of times when Jesus Himself was stressed out and tired, so He went somewhere alone to pray. It's a normal thing to get stressed out under pressure, and it happens to all of us. So, the next time you are stressed out, ask yourself, what would Jesus do?

Go to a quiet place alone to pray, and ask God to relieve your stress and give you peace. A good way to get rid of the burden is to give it to God. Just pray "Lord, you know what I have need of. Please take care of my needs. I give it all to You, and I trust You to take care of me." If you truly believe it when you pray that, you will feel so much better, and you will have some peace in your life.
