Secret Prayers Yields Public Power!

Reading #14:, pg. 183, July 1 (Prayer), Samuel Lee, Puritan Sermons 1659-1689. II:191-194.

"From the first day that you set your heart to understand ... your words have been heard." (Daniel 10:12)

At times it may seem that God is slow in answering our prayers, or absent from the scene all together. These thoughts could not be further from the truth, and undermine our consistency and diligences in private prayer. In times past, the deeply devoted to God spent a great amount of time in private, secret prayer. They referred to this action as meeting with God in your closet. It draws upon the contrast that Jesus points out regarding the hypocritical religious leaders of his day who loved to stand on the street corners in the public spaces and pray out loud great and boasting prayers, all for the purpose of inflated exercises in arrogance. Instead of being public and powerless, God calls us to privacy and power!
