“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).
What did our Lord mean when He said:
“Enter into your closet to pray?”
The word “closet” simply means somewhere-
– that you can shut the door on the world and open the windows to heaven.
As you study the life of Jesus-
– you’ll discover that Jesus sought times to be alone.
Sometimes He would go on a mountain, sometimes into the wilderness, and sometimes into a garden.
It is the secret place!
– that is the sacred place!!
When you enter your closet to pray-
Spend some time in silence!
Clear your mind.
Then, listen for His Words of edification, encouragement, and exhortation.
The mark of your prayer life is-
– not really how well you pray in public, but in private!
