Closet Prayer




Matthew 6: 5-7
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 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. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

Hypocrites do pray too, all but, for a show only. They want temporary rewards from you not eternal rewards from God. Is it prayer or babbling? When you shut your door for no one else to see, God opens His door for everyone to see. So, do not worry. What the world considers open-is shut by God, what the world considers shut-is open by God! We are going to witness this soon!
