The Bible Says:
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed
Mark 1:35
Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed
Luke 5:16
Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God
Luke 6:12
Love to Pray says there are eight actual prayers of Jesus in the New Testament:
Prayer was necessary for Jesus because he was truly human and shared wholly in our humanity, except he did not sin.
At one time Jesus said the father commanded him what to say.
The bible teaches us that Jesus is still at the right hand of God interceding for us.
In response to who Jesus is...The debt of love we owe .....Dr. VanderGriend suggests there are 4 things we should do in prayer....
1. Praise Jesus for modeling a strong, positive pattern of prayer
2. Confess any shortoming in prayer that you are aware of
3. Thank the Holy Spirit for his ability and willingness to purify our prayers
4. Ask Christ for the grace to pray as he prayed.
