Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of prayer to Jesus. We are well familiar with Christ's private prayer garden, Gethsemane. It was there that Judas knew to find him because he had often gone there with Christ to pray.

Yet even before this moment, Mark’s gospel paints the picture of him rising up early to pray. Luke said that Christ withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed. In Luke 6, Christ spent all night in prayer!

The very Son of God knew the priority of prayer, and His example should be a constant reminder to us of the need for us to spend time seeking God’s face and crying out to Him for help.

Have you taken time to pray today? Follow Christ’s example, and leave one for those behind you to follow.
