The Secret Place
"When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen."
Matthew 6:6Translation not recorded
Jesus assumes you will pray, and assumes the prayer that matters most will be unwitnessed.
The secret place is not a holy room. It is anywhere your heart goes quiet with him — a parked car, a closet, a slow walk at lunch. The architecture is the closed door of attention.
What grows in the secret place does not stay there. The unseen prayer becomes the visible life.

Where could your secret place be this week — even for ten minutes?
