And we're back for part 2!

Starting in the Word, in Matthew 6:6 Jesus says "When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place." Now this may sound like a way to get out of saying grace in front of everyone, but Jesus isn't saying not to pray in front of people, He is telling us how absolutely important it is to have quiet time with God! You cannot have a relationship with someone if you don't spend time with them.
Spending time with God in the quiet place could be listening to worship while you do dishes, praying as you drive around, doing a Bible study in your room. Quiet time with God has no rules, it's just you and God. He makes sure that it is reinforced in the Bible so many times that we need to spend time in prayer, the Word, fellowship, worship; BECAUSE WE NEED IT. It is far too easy to get caught up in the world, we need to spend time with Him so we can continue to be caught up in His love💛
If you are wanting to know what God has to say, go back to the Word. "All Scripture is breathed out by God" (2 Timothy 3:16) As Christians we need to train ourselves in the Word so that we can defend our hearts from temptation, protect our minds from attacks, prepare our souls for eternity, and be able to discern between what God says, what the Devil says, and what we say.
Spend time in the quiet place with God, whatever that means for you. He loves it when His Beloved chooses the Word instead of the world.
