Journey with Jesus – While It Was Still Dark Jesus Got Up and Went to Pray And That Changed Everything That Followed

Journey with Jesus – While It Was Still Dark Jesus Got Up and Went 

to Pray — And That Changed Everything That Followed

In this deeply compelling and example-driven message, you'll be taken 

to one of the most quietly powerful and profoundly instructive moments 

recorded in all four Gospels — the moment Jesus slipped away in the 

early morning darkness, before the disciples were awake, before the 

crowds had gathered, before the demands of the day had begun their 

relentless press, and went to a solitary place to be alone with His 

Father in prayer. Not occasionally. Not when life was particularly 

difficult. Consistently, deliberately, and before everything else. 

If the Son of God — who was Himself fully God, who had performed 

miracles the day before and would perform more the day after — felt 

not just the desire but the necessity to begin His day in solitary 

early morning prayer before anything else demanded His attention, 

what does that say about how you and I should be starting ours? 

The most powerful morning habit in all of human history was not 

invented by a productivity expert or a self-help author. It was 

modelled by Jesus Himself in the dark of the early morning.

This episode encourages you to follow Jesus into the early morning 

darkness and discover what He discovered there every single day — 

that the time spent alone with the Father before the world wakes up 

is not time taken away from the day. It is the time that makes the 

entire rest of the day possible. When the warm comfort of staying 

in bed makes the early morning feel too costly a sacrifice, that's 

your signal to remember that Jesus made it every single day — and 

everything He did after it was shaped by what happened in it. Follow 

His example. Get up. Go to the quiet place. Pray before the day 

begins. And watch what God does with everything that follows.

No matter how difficult or how undisciplined your mornings have felt 

right now, take comfort in this truth: Jesus did not go to that 

solitary place in the early morning darkness because He had it all 

together — He went because that was where He got everything He needed 

to face what was coming. And it is exactly where you will find 

everything you need too.

🎧 Listen now and be inspired to follow the most powerful morning 

example ever set — the one Jesus modelled in the dark and quiet of 

the early morning, alone with His Father, before the world woke up.

"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, 

left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." 

— Mark 1:35 (NIV)
