No other life was ever so crowded with labor and responsibility as was that of Jesus; yet how often He was found in prayer! How constant was His communion with God! Again and again in the history of His earthly life are found records such as these: "Rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed." "Great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. And He withdrew Himself into the wilderness, and prayed." "And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Mark 1:35; Luke 5:15, 16; 6:12.

Ingen andens liv har nogensinde været så overbebyrdet med arbejde og ansvar, som Jesu tilværelse var det; men hvor fandt man ham alligevel ofte i bøn! Hvor var han i bestandigt samfund med Gud! Atter og atter møder vi i beretningen om hans liv på jorden ord som disse: Ganske tidligt, mens det endnu var mørkt, stod han op og gik ud og gik bort til et øde sted, og der bad han. Store skarer kom sammen for at høre og for at blive helbredt for deres sygdomme. Men han trak sig tilbage til ørkenerne og bad. Så skete det i de dage, at han gik ud i bjergene for at bede; og han tilbragte natten i bøn til Gud. Mark. 1,35; Luk. 5,15-16; 6,12.
