Matthew 6:6

PASSAGE: Matthew 6:6 - But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

PAUSE: One of the secrets to really connecting to God in prayer is to establish a regular time and a private, quiet place to share your heart with Him. So often we leave prayer for when we have extra time for it or when it's convenient, which is hardly ever! Or we get stuck in the rut of praying the same old prayer and fail to focus very deeply on what we are praying or Who we are praying to. Friend, God intended our times of prayer to be regular, real, and rich! He’s just waiting for us to show up, to speak up. Each of us needs to firmly establish our appointment time to meet with God. This should be daily or at least several times a week! We need to guard this time from all distractions. Then we need to establish where this meeting will take place. A place where we can talk with God without interruption. Join us the rest of the week to take a deeper dive into the contents of vibrant prayer. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we praise You that You know our name and what’s in our heart and that You want to meet with us regularly! Amen.
