My Daily Musings-Feb.28th, 2026

In Luke 6:12 we read that Jesus “went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.”

All night.

The Son of God, perfect and without sin, still sought His Father in deep, uninterrupted communion. That detail feels sacred to me. If He needed time alone to pray — to feel strength, clarity, and love — how much more do I?

I imagine the weight He carried each day. Teaching. Healing. Loving. Being surrounded constantly. And yet He chose to step away, to climb higher, to be still with His Father.

He didn’t just teach about prayer — He showed it.

Just as His baptism was an example for us, His private prayers were too. He modeled dependence on the Father. He showed that divine strength flows from divine connection.

I’ve felt that in my own life. When I pause — even briefly — to pray throughout my day, I feel steadied. Guided. Loved.

If the Savior sought the mountain to pray, maybe I need to seek my own quiet places more often.
