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. (NIV) Matthew 6:6
“But when you pray, go into your room. . .” Andrew Murray sums it up by saying: “The morning watch is the key to unceasingly and fully maintaining our surrender to Christ. By meeting God in the inner chamber we confess that our inward life also needs daily renewal. It is only by fresh nourishment from God’s Word, and fresh communion with God Himself in prayer, that the vigor of our spiritual life can be maintained and grow.” (from The Inner Chamber by Andrew Murray)
How’s your prayer life? When was the last time you retreated to your inner chamber to connect with our Almighty God? Was it a week ago? A month? A year? Can’t remember when? Do you feel disconnected from God? Wondering what He wants you to do next? Facing a major decision but, unsure of God’s will?
Do you need a fresh touch of God’s presence? Do you need the joy returned to your faith? Is there a burning passion deep within to know Him? TRY PRAYER!!!
