Prayer Closet
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:6
Have a place for secret prayer, Jesus had select places for communion with God, and so should we. We need often to retire to some spot, however humble, where we can be alone with God.
"Pray to thy Father which is in secret." In the name of Jesus we may come into God's presence with the confidence of a child. No man is needed to act as a mediator. Through Jesus we may open our hearts to God as to one who knows and loves us.
In the secret place of prayer, where no eye but God's can see, no ear but His can hear, we may pour out our most hidden desires and longings to the Father of infinite pity, and in the hush and silence of the soul that voice which never fails to answer the cry of human need will speak to our hearts." (Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 55, 56)
Reflection: In your quiet time with God, share with Him all of your worries and cares. He knows your problems, so in talk to Him about them, He will give you the needed answers and the courage and strength to follow through.
