DAILY DEVOTION<\/p>\n
Matthew 6:6 (KJV):<\/strong>\u201cBut thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.\u201d<\/p>\n Our theme scripture underscores the deeply personal nature of prayer. It emphasizes that it is your closet that you must enter, your door that you must shut, and your Father to whom you must pray.<\/p>\n We live in a generation where many have not understood the power of fanning their own spiritual flames. They expect pastors or spiritual leaders to do the praying, while they simply do the receiving. This, however, is not the life to which God has called the Church.<\/p>\n It is your closet. You must cultivate personal moments of prayer, away from other men and women, where you intentionally light and tend your own fire. If you are solely dependent on the fires burning on the altars of others, you will never know what it means for your own altar to speak when a demand is placed upon it.<\/p>\n It is your door. You alone understand the distractions that pursue your prayer life. For some, it is social media; for others, it is friends, family, or constant activity. Identify what competes with your time of prayer and learn to shut the door against it.<\/p>\n It is your Father. It is not enough to say, \u201cthe God of my father\u201d or \u201cthe God of my spiritual leader.\u201d You must know Him for yourself. Seek a personal relationship with God that is not borrowed from another man\u2019s walk, but built through your own consistent communion with Him.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udca1KNOW MORE:<\/strong> Luke 5:16; Jeremiah 29:12-13<\/p>\n \u2b50HIGHLIGHT:<\/strong> It is not enough to say, \u201cthe God of my father\u201d or \u201cthe God of my spiritual leader.\u201d You must know Him for yourself.

You teach me to value the secret place and to faithfully tend the altar of my own prayer life. I shut the door to distractions and seek You with an undivided heart. As I exercise myself in this truth, my altar speaks, hears and sees, in Jesus\u2019 name, Amen.<\/p>\n Day 251\/365 DAILY DEVOTION Matthew 6:6 (KJV):\u201cBut thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.\u201d Our theme scripture underscores the deeply personal nature of prayer.
