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 KJV
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. — Matthew 6:6 NIV
Thought and Reflection
Prayer is the breath of the spirit, which ceaselessly connects in powerlessness to the God Who made us and reclaimed us, with His own valuable blood. Prayer is a demeanor of heart, that shouts out to God, for intimacy and close fellowship. Prayer is the joining of man’s helplessness with his confidence in God’s generous provision, and prayer converts into a heart that trust in His unfailing love.
We need to pray day by day, in the quietness of our own specific, private, prayer closet, for prayer is quite possibly the most fundamental and unique rights that Christian have been afforded especially in our modern times.
My Prayer
Dear Lord, thank You for the privilege of prayer. I am so grateful that I have access to Your throne of grace, for help in times of need. You alone are worthy of praise and honor for this unparalleled birth-right.
Renew my heart that I may know You more, and to love You better with each passing day. Take away any petty attitudes that may hinder my fellowship with You. Put in me a great desire to linger in Your presence and to praise You continuously, in spirit and truth.
Grant me a heart with an attitude of worshipful prayer, so that my communion with You becomes the essential essence of my very life in this world. I pray this in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
