Your Prayer Room

 

Matthew 6:6 (ERV)
But when you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father.

 

In the movie War Room (which I heartily recommend), a closet becomes the prayer room.

It’s nice, but not essential, to have a room dedicated to prayer. 

Susanna Wesley, mother of John and Charles Wesley*, prayed long and often in the main room of her home . . . as her ten children studied, played or worked around her. Mother Wesley’s prayer room was the space under the kitchen apron she pulled over her head. 

Wherever you meet God — that’s your prayer room.

 

 

 

*John Wesley is considered the Father of the Methodist Church. Charles Wesley wrote more than 6000 hymns. Together, these two men had a major impact on Christians in England and the US in the 1700’s. Their influence continues to this day.

  1. I pray now night and day,
    and I don’t need a room
    to ask God to show the way
    past cancer’s bloody doom.
    I know that I should take to heart
    that which is ordained for me,
    but to bow and fall apart
    is the devil’s victory.
    Today I am really, really scared,
    and the lights are getting dim.
    I feel so lonely, unprepared,
    for these chances now so slim
    that I might evade death’s scythe
    and walk to another life.

      I’m thinking, Andrew, that you will enjoy meeting up with Charles Wesley on the other side — prolific poets, the both of you!

      Remember, you are not alone. God is with you, and the prayers of your many friends are wrapped around you like a security blanket.
