The Importance of the Secret Place

Author: Hannah • Discussion: 1 Comment

There was once a time when I thought my “Quiet Time” with the Lord had to fit into a prescribed method.  In fact, when I heard about people who avidly set aside time in their “prayer closet,” I always wondered how they did things.  What was the magic structure that made the time right before God?

Was it, like…:

  • 3 minutes – reading daily devotional
