Luke 5:16 tells us:

"But He Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray."

Why?

He is simply amidst all the activity, craving time with the Father.

At least part of "the joy set before Him," (He not only accomplishes His ministry, the payment for salvation) His eternal glory is once again realized.

"I glorified Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do. "And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was."

John 17:4-5

All this makes me think Jesus went out to pray because He loves to be in community, communion with the Father.

All who love God long for His presence's pure delight and highest good.

The next best thing to entering into the Master's joy in heaven is the euphoria of practicing His presence in constant prayer.

"What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
