Recharge

“It's time to focus on what's important. Time to regain perspective, recharge. Get that energy that we need to go forward. Engage the sound of silence. Cultivate an attitude of solitude. Escape the multitudes. This is right from the beginning. When he's choosing his disciples to the very end, when he's facing death, this is what Jesus did to recharge. So escape is okay. But let me ask you, how do you escape? Do you unwind? How do you recharge? Is God involved? If you're escaping, doesn't include God, you're doing it wrong. Prayer is a recharging. It's not just this work. … What I love about the Psalms is it actually tells us that we should make our beds prayer places. … So ask yourself, do you escape to God or from God?”
