I have been fortunate to travel to Alaska three times; once for business and twice for pleasure. On the third trip, a cruise with members of Holy Cross, we journeyed into Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.
Glacier Bay is a place of solitude. Only a few cruise lines are allowed to sail her waters and private boats must receive permission to enter. There are no roads into the park and no major city within reach. Even on a crowded ship, it is a place of solitude.
Where is your place of solitude? Where is that spot where you cannot be interrupted by the noise and commotion of life?
You don't have to go to Alaska to find that place. "In these days [Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God." Luke 6:12 English Standard Version
Jesus found solace in communion with his Father. Solitude is a place of intimacy; intimacy with the One who has formed you, redeemed you and blesses you.
As Jesus experienced solitude with his Father, may you find intimacy with God as your place of peace.
