Place to pray

Jesus goes to the temple in Jerusalem and must have been appalled. How disappointed and angry he must have felt. His message had been ignored and now this sacred place is misused. The temple was a place where people should have been able to find peace and commune with God. Instead it had become a marketplace. Where do I find my place to commune with God – a place of peace to pray?
