“It was no exceptional thing
for Jesus to withdraw Himself
’into the wilderness to pray.’
He was never for one moment of any day
out of touch with God.
He was speaking and listening
to the Father all day long;
and yet He, who was in such constant touch with God,
felt the need, as well as the joy,
of more prolonged and more quiet communion with Him...
Most of the reasons that drive us to pray
for strength and forgiveness
could never have driven Him;
and yet He needed prayer."
- G. H. Knight
