Tuesday, November 12 [Jesus] continued the whole night in prayer.—Luke 6:12. What can we learn from Jesus’ example? That we must spend long hours in prayer? No, for he kindly acknowledged about his followers: “The spirit, of course, is eager, but the flesh is weak.” (Matt. 26:41) Nevertheless, we can imitate Jesus. For instance, do we consult our heavenly Fa- ther before making any decision that may affect us, our family, or our fellow believers spiritual- ly? Do our prayers include con- cerns about our brothers and sis- ters in the faith? Do we pray from the heart rather than repeat a set form of expressions? Notice, too, that Jesus valued intimate, private talk with his Father. In today’s busy, hectic world, it is all too easy to get so caught up in the rush of life that we forget what matters most. If we make ample time for in-depth, private prayer, we will be more spiritu- ally alert. (Matt. 6:6, 7) We will draw closer to Jehovah, eager to strengthen our relationship with him.
