The God that sees secret prayers

Matthew  6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.  6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 

 Prayer is not a performance for others to witness us or a show of how spiritually inclined we are, but a sacred communion between us and our Heavenly Father. Christ encourages us to seek a quiet place, away from the gaze of others, to pour out our hearts in prayer.

Why does God value secret prayers? It's not because He wants to hide from us or keep us in the dark. Rather, it's because He desires an intimate relationship with us, one that is built on sincerity and authenticity.

When we pray in secret, we lay bare our souls before God, free from the desire for human approval or recognition. In those moments, we are truly ourselves, vulnerable and honest, knowing that God sees us as we are and loves us unconditionally.

But why does God reward secret prayers? It's not because He needs to be persuaded to act or to be reminded of our needs. No, it's because secret prayers reveal the depth of our faith and trust in God.

When we pray in secret, we demonstrate that our relationship with God is not dependent on outward appearances or public praise. We trust in His goodness and His faithfulness to hear and answer our prayers, even when no one else is watching.

In conclusion, let us embrace the privilege of secret prayer. Let us not be swayed by the applause of men or the desire for recognition but instead seek the quiet solace of our prayer closets, knowing that our Father who sees in secret will reward us openly.

May our secret prayers be a sweet fragrance to the Lord, a testament to our unwavering trust in His love and provision. And may we experience the rich blessings that come from communing with the God who sees secret prayers. Amen.

God bless you.
