Prodigal: Out here by myself today.

Me: Solitude it a good thing, it can help you be with God.

This is from the book Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard, Phil Hodges and Phyllis Hendry

Solitude is truly countercultural and therefore a challenging behavior to adopt. Furthermore, solitude draws us into the very place so many of our activities seem designed to help us escape: being truly alone with God and without an agenda. It is a rare and often unsettling feeling to stop doing and just be. Yet as strange as it feels to actively seek opportunities to “cease striving” (Psalm 46:10 NASB), the result of doing so consistently can be life changing. We can find clarity in the silence.

Romans 8:31

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
