Your closet can be a place or a time. In the life of Jesus, He rose up very early and prayed in a solitary place in order to practise this truth. He went to a place where He could have a closet-kind of environment, where He could have privacy and even there, they sought Him. And when they found Him they said to Him, “All men are looking for you.” That's why many people don't pray and don't succeed in praying.
I want to show you one important principle for a successful prayer hour. The principle is that when you wake up in the morning, change your location and get up from the bed. Many people don't pray successfully because they wake up from the bed and stay on the same bed to pray and they mostly fall back asleep. The devil and your body don't want you to pray and they will cancel your desire to pray and you will find out that you regularly oversleep and are now only ready for work. That's what Jesus said when He said, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (Mat. 26:41; Mar. 14:38).” This means it takes more than a willing spirit to pray. It takes a conquered flesh to pray.
If your home atmosphere does not provide that in the morning, there could be another time. It could be another time in the evening or an all-night. In the life of Jesus, you will find out that many times He prayed in the middle of the night, all night long.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for delivering me from the weakness of my flesh. As I commit to relocating from where I slept in order to pray, I receive the hand of the Lord strong upon me in Jesus’ name. Amen!
