No matter who you are, there is a good chance you could use some time away. Some time to yourself. Some time to connect with God, do some thinking about your life and your relationship with Him, and to spend some really intentional time in prayer and Scripture. And now that summer is here, it's easier to do so than it has been all year.

First of all you'll want to decide how long you want to be away from everything. Do you need just a few hours alone or do you want a couple of days to yourself? Take a weekend–everyone has them.
