Note:
Wanting to be like Jesus also means wanting to spend time in solitude and prayer. There’s a place for action, but only after contemplative sitting. The latter needs to be a priority.

Quote:
“Solitude and prayer-time alone were important to Jesus. Why is it, I wonder, that we seem more ready to follow Jesus into service than into solitude? Especially before important decisions were to be made, the Bible shows that Jesus took time to be alone with his Father and to reflect before deciding to move to another locale for ministry, before choosing the disciples, before embracing the cross.” (p. 96)
