The Secret Place

Aug 6, 2025    Dr. Brad Patterson

Where Strength Is Found and Fear Falls Silent


 Matthew 6:6 (ESV)

“When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret…”


Devotional

The secret place isn’t about location—it’s about intimacy.

God wants your undivided heart, not a performance. He rewards those who meet Him in the quiet place—not with applause, but with presence. Shut the door today. Let love speak.


Takeaway of the Day

• “When you pray…” – Is prayer your rhythm or your reaction?

• “Shut the door…” – What needs to be closed off today?

• “Sees in secret…” – Are you seeking God or attention?


Prayer

Father, I want to know You in the secret place. Help me shut out the noise. Amen.
