WHERE TO PRAY?

“But when you pray, go into your room,
close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you openly.”
Matthew 6:6

What did our Lord mean when He said, “Go into your room to pray?”
(some translations say “Enter into your closet”).
The word “room” or “closet” simply means somewhere that you
can shut the door on the world and open the windows to heaven.
When you study the life of Jesus,
you see that Jesus sought times to be alone to pray.
Sometimes He would go on a mountain, sometimes into the wilderness,
and sometimes into a garden.
He made a secret place His sacred place.
The measure of your prayer life is not how well you pray in public,
but in how consistent you pray in private.

When you enter your “place” to pray, spend some time in silence.
Clear your mind and listen for His Words
of instructions, encouragement, and direction.
