The Lord Jesus set a good pattern before us – He as the first God-man prayed to the Father much time in secret! Even after He fed the crowds by making a miracle, He went away and went up to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer alone with the […]
not seeking our own glory but God’s glory by spending time privately with Him
One of the most outstanding things concerning the Lord Jesus in His life and ministry on the earth is that He did not seek His own glory but the glory of the Father who sent Him (see John 7:18; 5:41; 12:43).
