In John 18:1,2 it says, "When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook of Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples."
A garden is a great place to meet God, but you can meet him just as well in a prison cell. Acts 16:25- 27 says, "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled." The rest of this story tells how the prison guard got saved and his whole household. The place that we meet with God isn't near as important as the fact that we actually do meet with him daily.
