Actualy I have reed mostly God's books Holy Gospel, Holy Bible and Holy Qur'an and tried to study all of them and found things make me crazy.

Note : this question include sentences and holy verses from Holy Gospel, Holy Bible and Holy Qur'an.

In Matthew 14:23

" And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray......"

and I think or certain Matthew talking about Jesus.

I say if Jesus is God or a part of God or Son of god then why he pray? In fact, prayer is always from a submitting, needy and dependent on for the Mercy of almighty God.
And finally I got crazy err I have reed this verse in Holy qur'an

"O mankind! it is you who stand in need of god but god is rich of all wants and needs, Worthy of all praise"(V.35:15).

and

"There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the most gracious god as a slave" (V.19.93)

Please explain to me

Well, I can't explain all this to you, but your core question about prayer, and why Jesus prayed. I think it has to do with your idea of what prayer means. First, the "submitting, needy and dependent" description could refer to Jesus as a human, even if he also had a divine side that was in effect the very entity to which he prayed.

I see the term translated as "prayer" as possible better called "communion with God." It may be talking, may be listening, may be just sensations with no language-like component at all, may even be light -- enlightening, as it were. It's getting closer to the Divine, in some form or another. I don't think the specifics of submission and so on are necessary for that.

Jesus prayed so that men could hear his words to God and he taught that God loves us as his children
the quran teaches God see's us as less than slaves.

just like Jesus we are God's children...he is our FATHER our ever present help in time of need....it's important for you to know that praying to God is a way of having a realtionship with our Heavenly Father....it is respect...we are supposed to come to Him with thanksgiving for all that He has done....and bring your troubles to Him. Jesus himself was troubled and needed His guidance just like you and me : )
