We have a vital need to cultivate the spiritual practices of solitude and silence in the midst of our always-connected, digital world. Jesus, himself, modelled the importance of withdrawing from the busyness of life for times of prayer and rest. Solitude is a foundational practice to get to know Jesus. We are invited to slow down, find silence, and be with God. As we follow Jesus in this way, we can find physical, emotional, and mental rest and spiritual refreshing in God.
