PROMISE #352 - DECEMBER 18
Promise #352:
If you pray to Me in secret, I will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:6 (WEB)
But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Beginning in Matthew 6:9, Jesus taught His disciples to pray a very special prayer, which we call the Lord's Prayer. Many people know this very popular Christian prayer by heart, as I am sure that it is the most recited prayer of all time. Jesus is very clear about who we are to direct this prayer to: Our Father who art in heaven.
Just before Jesus instructs them on what to pray, He tells them how to pray. He tells His disciples to find a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of life and spend some quality time with their heavenly Dad.
In today's promise, Jesus tells us that if we develop a secret, intimate prayer life with our Father, God will reward us openly. Our Father loves it when His kids come to Him when we are the only ones who know about it!
