Jesus spoke to the crowds in Matthew 6:5-15 concerning how they should pray: "When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." He continued by reciting the Lord's Prayer as a model to follow and by emphasizing the importance of forgiving others before coming to God in prayer. Jesus often went off to a place where He could be alone with His Father to pray. God wants each one of us to spend some time alone with Him in prayer. He deserves a time when we aren't rushed or interrupted by other things, and time when He has our undivided attention. Make time to honor Him, to thank Him, to talk to Him, to express concerns and make requests in privacy. Then take time to listen to His response. He loves you very much, and He wants to tell you so.
