Quiet Time with Jesus is Powerful

📖 Bible Verse:
“Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.” — Mark 1:35

🕊️ Story / Reflection:

 
Have you ever tried to find a quiet place where no one could disturb you—maybe to read, draw, or think?
Jesus did that too! He often went to a quiet place early in the morning to talk with His Father. Even though He was busy healing people, teaching, and helping others, Jesus made time to pray. 

When we spend quiet time with Jesus—reading the Bible, praying, or just sitting and listening—we become stronger on the inside. It helps our hearts stay full of peace, joy, and wisdom. Quiet time with Jesus gives us the strength to face the day with love and courage.

💡 Lesson:
Spending time with Jesus helps me grow strong in faith and full of peace.

🙏 Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for showing me how important it is to spend quiet time with You.
Help me to always make time to pray, listen, and talk to You every day.
Amen.
