Prayer in the Secret Place

Jesus assumes his followers will pray — when you pray, he says, not if. But he is very concerned with where and why.

The secret place is not about geography but honesty. It is the room where no audience exists except the Father.

Public spirituality without private prayer is a tree without roots. It may look green for a season, but the first drought reveals everything.

Find your secret place this week. Guard it like an appointment with the most important person in your life — because it is.
