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.  (NIV) Mark 1:35

Jesus prayed before He fed over 5,000 people. . .

Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. (NIV) Mark 6:41

Jesus prayed before healing the man who was deaf and mute. . .

He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means, "Be opened!"). (NIV) Mark 7:34

Jesus prayed before bringing the dead back to life . . .

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" (NIV) John 11:41-43
