Mark 1:35-39

Prayer is a most natural act when men feel their insufficiency. One of the things that show us the human side of Jesus’ nature is prayer.

Jesus’ practice of prayer – constantly

• Daily
  • Early
  • At meals – Lord’s supper
  • Before retiring (Matthew 14:23)
• At times of special need
  • When physically exhausted
  • When there was some new experience
    • Transfiguration
    • Times of healing
    • Walking on water
• In crisis times
  • Beginning of ministry
  • Choosing disciples
  • Before His death

Jesus shows us that prayer should be a part of our total life experience.
