Matthew 6:6
Matthew 6:6
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.
Prayer is a deeply personal communion with God, one that requires intentionality and solitude. This verse encourages us to find a private space, away from distractions, to connect with our Father. It speaks to the value of intimacy in our spiritual lives, highlighting the importance of seeking God’s presence in quiet moments where we can be fully open with Him. In a world filled with noise and constant activity, setting aside time for private prayer allows us to refocus, recalibrate, and reconnect with God on a profound level. This act of devotion is rewarded openly by our Father, who sees and values the sincerity of our hidden prayers. Such private moments nurture our faith, deepen our trust, and allow us to experience God’s presence in a personal and transformative way. May this verse encourage us to cultivate a secret place of prayer, a space where we can draw close to God and receive His peace, guidance, and love in return.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
