A Known Place of Prayer
Commentators emphasize that Jesus had a regular, known place for prayer and fellowship. Charles Spurgeon notes that if the perfect Son of God needed to pray so often, we should never think we can outgrow our own need for it. This serves as an encouragement for believers to establish their own consistent habit and place of prayer.
