Set aside time to be in relationship with God

Jesus demonstrated the need to set aside time to be in solitary relationship with God.

Matthew 14:22-23 22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

Do we ignore Jesus' example of getting by ourselves and praying?

Note:  For me, this is a beautiful picture of Jesus intentionally spending time with the rest of the trinity to be nourished.  This same trinitarian nourishment awaits us... why do we so often neglect it?
