START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 5:16

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

PRAYERS OF JESUS / LUKE 5:16

  1. Luke focuses on the importance of prayer and its power in the life of Jesus more than the other Gospel writers. There is no doubt that Jesus’ time and interaction with His Father was the source of His supernatural guidance and power. When the Holy spirit descended upon Jesus during His baptism in the Jordan River, He was “praying” (Luke 3:21) at times He got away from the multitudes “and prayed” (Luke 5:16), and He “spent the night praying” before choosing the twelve disciples (Luke 6:12). He was “praying in private” before He asked His disciples an important question (Luke 9:18). Prior to His supernatural experience (His “transfiguration”) with Moses and Elijah, He had climbed the mountain “to pray” (Luke 9:28; the actual transfiguration occurred while “He was praying” (Luke 9:29). He also “was praying “when the disciples approached Him about learning how to pray (the Lord’s Prayer, Luke 11:1). In Gethsemane, He “prayed more earnestly” shortly before His arrest (Luke 22:44). As He died on the cross, He prayed for others (Luke 23:34); and the last words He spoke before His death were a prayer (Luke 23:46). Luke also records that Jesus prayed after His resurrection (Luke 24:30).
  2. In examining the life of Jesus in the other Gospels (Matthew, Mark, John), we find that He prayed before extending the invitation, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened” (Matthew 11:25-28). He also prayed before raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11:41-42) and during His last supper with His disciples as He instituted the Lord’s Supper, communion (John 17; Matthew 14:23).

The Bible shows that Jesus prayed constantly. If Jesus, who was Himself God, relied this heavily on prayer with His Father, how much more do we need to follow His example if we expect to receive wisdom, direction and power to overcome evil and accomplish God’s purpose for our lives.
