“When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:5‭-‬6 NASB

After spending the weekend with three very active, self minded, beautiful granddaughters vying for my attention — all at the same time — made me appreciate the one on one time I have with the Father, going “into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father“. I have the full attention of my loving, caring Lord.
And the rewards of His undivided attention fills my heart and soul with overflowing joy, power and direction.
The greatest and most fulfilling reward is seeing the glory of God. His glory at work in me, changing and sanctifying, and through me as He answers my prayers on behalf of others.

You just can’t go wrong following in the footsteps of Jesus  . . .

But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
Luke 5:16 NASB

After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.
Mark 6:46 NASB

🌹Does your private prayer time need refreshing? No time like the present.

Continually Seeking Him,
