The city was protected by a garrison

post that the city's magnificent
synagogue had been erected.
Following that day crowded with
controversy, preaching and healing
in the synagogue and in the home of
Simon Peter, whose mother-in-law
He cured of a fever, we note that the
Lord sought spiritual strength
through private devotions early in
the morning. Though He was tired
in body from the Sabbath activities,
He found that He could get more rest
through prayer than through sleep.
His success brought on crisis,
which He met by a season of close
communion with God in prayer.
Three times in this chapter, Mark
points out how Jesus made it the
rule of His life to seek the fellow

energy of the flesh for power from on

secret prayer. He kept an unbroken
connection between His soul and God
through prayer so that His thoughts,
teachings and triumphs revealed the
presence, personality and power of
Jehovah.
Jesus found in the quiet of the
place of close communion physical as
well as spiritual strength. He
needed a renewal of His exhausted
energies that sleep could not give.
The task of preaching and minister

manded that He be alone with God

His communion seasons that inspired
His disciples to plead with Him that
He would teach them "how to pray.
Most, If not all, Of the failures of
