So, though he was God incarnate, Jesus didn't draw his superpowers as the Son of God as it came to facing life's challenges. Instead, when he had been exhausted or burdened or in need of spiritual refreshment, he would"slip away" to plead -- plugging into the energy, understanding, and purpose that can only be found in God's existence.
