When crowds were pressing and pulling in near,
With questions and chatter for Jesus to hear,
He smiled at the people. He loved every one.
But often he paused when the day’s work was done.
He wanted to be alone in the hills or by the sea—
A place without people, where quiet would be.
He talked with his Father in a one-on-one share—
No crowd in the middle, just love in the air.
He wasn’t hiding from trouble or escaping the need.
He was seeking the next steps for planting the seed,
Preparing his heart for the work yet to come,
To follow the plan till his mission was done.
Into the wilderness or up the hills he’d climb,
To be alone with the Father—a special time.
In the peaceful connection, his strength would renew,
To step back among us and show what God knew.
So when life gets noisy and pulls you away,
Find moments for stillness, and take time to pray.
Don’t flee from your work, but draw in near,
To hear the One voice that you most need to hear.
