Magnificent Prayer #23
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1–2
Every pray-er should have a place, be it only a chair or a corner, where he or she is accustomed to meeting the Lord…It is in such a spot the soul can best gird itself for prayer with the sense of truly succeeding.
Out from such a closet, from its habitual meeting in private, personal interview with the Father, one can go to face a world of sin, of difficulty and discouragement, undaunted and undismayed.
NORMAN B. HARRISON
Pray About It: Where do you pray? We can, of course, pray anywhere. We can pray as we drive, as we shower, as we do the dishes, or engage in a hobby. But each of us needs a special place, a private place, where we hold court with God. If you haven’t already done so, search out such a place. Make sure it has no distractions and is entirely private. And then consider that God will be there waiting for you at the appointed time. Be sure you show up too.
O, let the place of secret prayer become to me the most beloved spot on earth.
