"When you have shut your door..."

"Cardinal in flight"

by bgrace

"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 will repay you."

Matthew 6:6

 

"Go into your inner room..."
The innermost room of your house.
The innermost room of your soul.

"And when you have shut your door..."
There's something that can happen when you are alone with God that otherwise doesn't happen.

My private space becomes

A sacred space

A shared place

I enter alone and yet find myself before You

Bowed,

Drawn,

Joined in love.

Listening, open, receiving

Your light, presence, power, words,

The ministry of the Holy Spirit from above.
