Michael Card referred to Jesus’ life of prayer:
Jesus’ life of prayer teaches us that we do not merely listen for words; we must learn to listen to the silence. For, as Mother Teresa said, “God speaks in the silence of the heart.”
Though his divinity possessed the very mind of God, his humanity continually sought out the Father in all-night prayer sessions. In the account of those sessions we hear very few words, and so we can assume that there was much listening. . . . Prayer, for Jesus, seems to have been a time for simply sharing the presence of his Father, of listening to the silence . . . .
