DESIRE
to leave people behind and enter into time alone with God
DEFINITION
The practice of solitude involves scheduling enough uninterrupted time in a distraction-free environment that you experience isolation and are alone with God. Solitude is a “container discipline” for the practice of other spiritual disciplines.
SCRIPTURE

The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” (1 Kings 19:11)
“Let him sit alone in silence
for the LORD has laid it on him.” (Lamentations 3:28)
