When was the last time you went into your closet to pray?
Scripture says in Matthew 6:6 —
“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”
Sometimes, the moment you enter your place of prayer, thoughts begin to flood your mind — what you’ll eat afterward, what to cook, that unfinished contract, or a pending task. But the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person is most powerful when distractions are silenced and the heart is fixed on Jesus.
Matthew 14:23 says,
“And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.”
Jesus needed the silence. He needed the stillness. He needed His disciples to stop asking, “Master, where are we going next? What are we eating tonight? How much is left in the purse?”
He needed that closet moment to commune with the Father.
The power you draw in times of trouble doesn’t come from the prayer you pray during the trouble — but from the strength built before the trouble ever shows up.
Friends, God desires that we have those closet moments with Him — those quiet times where He communes His heart to us.
Step aside from the noise.
Step aside from the chaos.
And just pray —
Pray until you feel a ventilation.
Pray until you sense the movement of the Holy Ghost within you.
When God created man and placed him in Eden, He knew man didn’t know how to live — that’s why He came daily to commune with him and teach him life.
So when you pray, don’t just mutter words. Don’t just speak in tongues without direction. Go into your closet.
That’s the winning posture.
Stay Revived!
