COME APART BEFORE YOU COME APART

A short time away to pray, meditate, and/or to enjoy life will give you just the break needed to continue on to what God has called you to.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. Matthew 14:23

A former Pastor had a saying and it has stuck in my head for many years, “Come apart before you come apart.” I don’t know where it originates but the truth behind those five words is tremendous! The few moments on a walk outside, the ride to the store to pick up a candy bar, the hike up your favorite mountain, some time in your prayer closet, going to your happy place, a visit to the old rock altar behind the barn, a trip to the mountains, a trip to hear the waves crash on the sand, or just a walk around the house can prove to be the prescription of a successful day, week, month, or year!

Take a break! As Christ as our example, go up to a mountain, stay a while, and pray!
