Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed, “Everyone is looking for you!”
-Mark 1:35-37
Jesus had a habit of going off on his own to reconnect with the Father. This is the first weekend I haven’t had my sons with me in over two months. I’m not alone, but this weekend is about connection. Yesterday I connected with myself in difficult jiu-jitsu competition. I paused in the middle of the day to take time with God’s Word and check in. It’s very easy to fall into the excitement and anxiety of a moment and forget why you are there. This habit of returning to the Word each day is grounding me.
I’m going to carry this connection with me into my first psychedelic experience. I don’t know what I will find there, but I know my heart and mind are with God and He is with me. I feel safe in this place.
As today’s devotional is titled, I’m about to Get Away. I pray in Jesus’s name for continued safety, love, and enlightenment.
