Inner Prayer Room Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Daniel 6:10. One of the unfortunate truths about some of us Christians is that we do not have a prayer room: that sacred place within that infuses your heart and soul with daily strength. Do you not know that you need a prayer room? It has nothing to do with physicality or geography because we can go to our prayer room wherever we are and whenever we get ready. You can be in your car and when the spirit moves you, you retire to your prayer room. You can be in attendance at a meeting and in the midst, pause, and retire to your prayer room. To have a "prayer room" means simply to be shut-in in the spirit with God anywhere, anytime, giving quality, chosen time to yearn after Him, seek Him and call on His name. Every believer needs a prayer room because every child of God must go down in life’s underworld. All of us will have a lion’s den. But if we have a prayer life, it doesn’t matter how deep it is or how dark it is or how scary it is. If we have a prayer life, the God who is able to shut the mouths of lions, will be there with us. Instead of lashing out, go to your prayer room. Instead of running your mouth, go to your prayer room. Don’t get excited. Don’t get out of sorts. Don’t get ruffled. Just go to your prayer room, kneel at the altar of private prayer, be still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Prayer Break: O Lord and everlasting God, who has given us the privilege of prayer and reserved a chapel in my soul for my visiting at will, what an honor I have today to know you as my Father and to have access to you at all times. Lord, I come to you in this moment desiring to be led, corrected, and instructed by you. I want to learn obedience, to understand your ways. I want to draw closer to you in mind and heart, soul and spirit. Grant this I pray for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. About the Author: Rev. Saundra L.
