● Gen 2:18 It is not good that man should be alone

● Luke 5:16 Jesus often withdrew into the wilderness

and prayed.

There is a time to gather, connect, and encourage one

another.

There is a time to find a solitary place, separate, and be

alone w/ the Lord.

When searching for direction:

● Mark 1:35 Now in the morning, having risen a long

while before daylight, He went out and departed

to a solitary place; and there He prayed. 36 And

Simon and those who were with Him searched for

Him. 37 When they found Him, they said to Him,

“Everyone is looking for You.” 38 But He said to

them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may

preach there also, because for this purpose I have

come forth.”

When making big decisions:

● Luke 6:12 Now it came to pass in those days that

He went out to the mountain to pray, and

continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when

it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and

from them He chose twelve whom He also named

apostles.

During demanding seasons:

● Matt 4, Mark 1, & Luke 4 Jesus fasted and prayed

for 40 days before overcoming temptation.

When missing someone or grieving:

● Matt 14:13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from

there by boat to a deserted place by Himself

● Matt 14:23 And when He had sent the multitudes

away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to

pray.

When committing to the call of God for your life:

● Luke 22:39 Prayer in the garden

What to do during my “alone time”

● Pray - communication w/ the Lord

● Meditate - Renew you mind - Think about the Lord

● Fast - Exercise control over your body
