But you, when you pray, go into your inner room; and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.  Matthew 6:6, TLV

It’s not about where we pray, is it? No, it doesn’t matter where or when we pray, it is all about our heart.

This verse precedes what we know as “the LORD’s prayer.” The prayer Yeshua taught His followers — from His disciples then to today.

It’s not about elegance of words or length of our prayers that captures the heart of the Father. Our Father’s heart was already captured on our behalf by His Son. So it seems logical that we would pray the way Jesus taught us. Simply, honestly, reverently, and humbly.

Once again, those of us who aren’t scholars have an advantage. We can approach our Father knowing it won’t be about our eloquent words, it will be our humble sincerity.

That’s our inner room — our prayer closet, our secret place. May we go there often.
