Fasted and prayed
(Mark 1:13) So he continued in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan, and he was with the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.
(Luke 4:2) for forty days, while being tempted by the Devil. Furthermore, he ate nothing in those days, and so, when they were concluded, he felt hungry.

Jesus leaves the waters of the river and wanders into the desert for the next forty days. Forty days of fasting. Forty days of praying. Forty days of silence. Forty days of heat and sand and scorpions. And at the end of those forty days his first re-connection is not with His family or friends or even humans for that matter, but with the Enemy. The Devil. Satan.
May God bless you

Resisted temptation.
12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

All I know is that he was tempted Satan and was in a heated spiritual battle and he got really hungry after it was all over because he didn't eat the whole time. He won of course. I'm sure he prayed a lot too.

according to what is written in the Bible, he fasted (water only, no food), meditated, prayed and dealt with the devil who tried to tempt Him into denying God the Father (which of course did not happen). Jesus was preparing himself for what was to occur next.

prayed, fasted was tempted by the Devil. Notice how our most severe temptations are when we are alone and not with a crowd of people. That's when we must be super vigilant.

He prayed and fasted to bring His flesh into subjection to His Spirit!
