Mark 1:35-38: “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. Simon and his companions went to look for Him, and when they found Him, they exclaimed: ‘Everyone is looking for You!’ Jesus replied, ‘Let us go somewhere else–to the nearby villages–so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.’”

Acts 6:4: “We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the Word.”
