praying all night

Good morning sisters and brothers,
Often in the Gospels we read that Jesus went off on his own to pray. We don't see Jesus taking much time for himself in ministry, but we do see that he made his prayer life a priority. In this case he spent a whole night in prayer before deciding which of his disciples would be the core of the ministry after he returned to heaven. How can we find time to pray on our important decisions? Is there some step you can take to make prayer a bigger part of your decision making?

God bless,

Sam




Luke 6:12-16
12Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God. 13And when day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: 14Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called the Zealot, 16and Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
