9stines- Merthiolate For The Christian Soul

As a believer, a disciple of Jesus Christ, one of the most wonderful things we have is prayer. Jesus made reference to prayer many times during His ministry and He Himself demonstrated the tremendous importance of prayer. Early in my Christian life I prayed all the time. I prayed about everything. I prayed about praying. I had a great time with my new relationship with God and I wanted to spend all the time I could with Him.

I heard a sermon once about a prayer closet. Jesus made reference to going into a place and pray in secret and saying the your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. I love that verse because it tells you that God wants that alone time, just you and Him.

I found my place early on. It was my car. I drive all day long. I visit many places and at any given time I could literally be anywhere in the state. What is neat about my secret, sacred place is that the view from the window is always different. It allows me to see Gods handiwork from a new perspective each time. It gives me a chance to see His tremendous power. It is sort of like a live postcard from Heaven showing me places where God presence is and is working.

Sometimes the worship is totally mind blowing. Often I will hum a song or a melody. Sometimes I will whistle. Sometimes I play my tin whistle. Other times I just deeply meditate. Each time learning more about God and developing a more meaningful relationship.

What is your secret sacred place? In what ways do you spend quiet time with the Master? In what ways to you worship? I would be interested to hear.
