Prayer Closet


What Father doesn't love it when his child
Wants just to be alone to talk awhile,
To seek advice without the world so wild,
Away from selfish efforts to beguile?
In private prayer with God your heart is true,
Less liable to hypocrisy and pride,
He knows your silent groanings through and through;
He knows when you need help or just abide.
Such closet talks can happen anywhere;
For covert prayers defy the laws of man,
And God, who is in secret and aware,
Rewards you openly as is His plan.
            Your Father loves it when you step aside
            To seek Him out to comfort and confide.
            ~~~~~~~~~~~
But 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.

Matthew 6:6 KJV
