lonely place

Luke 5:16
16But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Luke interviews many eyewitnesses to get the most accurate historical account of the life of Jesus. This verse is an interesting word choice for one of Jesus’ activities. Luke doesn’t say Jesus went to a place alone. He says Jesus goes to “lonely places.” How can a place be lonely, and why did Jesus go there so often?

I know this is only a figure of speech but when you think about it, it makes sense. Anywhere is lonely without Jesus present.

What lonely place can you enter into today and bring the presence of Jesus?
