A Solitude Like No Other

Matthew 6:6 "When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."  

Living off the grid. Yeah, I'd like that, at least for a while. Or would I? Well, not at my age. And, the reality is, I wouldn't know how. 

Maybe I could I learn survival skills from my cat? I doubt my cat knows survival skills as she's never set her paws on concrete pavement or ground soil.

Come to think about it, we both live privileged lives. It's not that we have monetary wealth, but are rich in love of family and friends. Plus, I know full well that we survive only through God's grace and love.

So for me and my cat, it's solitude at home base. No cell phone, no television, close my bedroom door, just being alone wth God and my cat. That'll work. Shut out all the world troubles.

And pray without ceasing. The way life is lived should be our prayer.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-17).
