Jesus & Prayer

Mark 1:35-38
And in the early morning, while it was still dark, He arose and went out and departed to a lonely place, and was praying there. And Simon and his companions hunted for Him; and they found Him, and *said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You." And He *said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, in order that I may preach there also; for that is what I came out for."

I was just studying Mark and found these couple of verses. Talking about being still and being busy - here is Jesus taking time out to pray. People were seeking him out but he needed to spend time in prayer with his father. Luke also records on a number of occassions how Jesus often withdraws to spend that alone praying with his father.
