Probably the most common characteristic of Jesus’ prayer life is that He often withdrew to a solitary place to pray. Matthew 14:23 says that “After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.” He often slipped away to the wilderness or lonely places to pray. His 40 days and nights of fasting in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-2) undoubtedly involved much prayer, as the two disciplines are often linked in Scripture (we will discuss the relationship between fasting and prayer in a future Bible Drill). Luke 5:16 tells us “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Indeed, even on the eve of His crucifixion, He prepared by separating himself from the disciples and praying for deliverance and submitting His will to God’s (Matt. 26:36-44; Luke 22:39-46).
