Luke 4:21-30
At daybreak, he departed and went into a deserted place.
from Luke 4:42

There is a common Christian malady. We can become so sure that God is on our side that we lose sight of the fact that we are called to be on God’s side. We can be so focused on what we want and think we need that we fail to see God providing what we really need.
But, at the height of his popularity, Jesus gets up and does something that differs from how-to books. Early in the morning, he goes out to an isolated place to pray. Just when you might think that Jesus has the opportunity to capitalize on his popularity, he “gets away from it all. He disconnects from human expectations to find rest and seek God’s expectations.
