quotes from Chapter 28 Personal Prayer Retreats by Cynthia Bezek
"...times of solitude and waiting on the Lord are the 'hallmark of people who walk steadfastly with the Lord - people who experience trials and come through with faithfulness, stability, and strength of character.'"
"He [God] intends to be our Source, refreshing us so we in turn can refresh others."
"The problem is, we view refreshment as a luxury rather than a necessity."
"No one can argue about having more demands on His time than Jesus. Yet to Him, it was impossible not to spend extended time with the Father."
