Praying in your Inner room

In the Psalm [61] we pray, “Hear, O God, my cry for help; listen to my prayer.”

The Apostle, too, teaches you how to pray; you must avoid anger and contentiousness, so that your prayer may be serene and wholesome. He tells you also that every place is a place of prayer, though our Savior says: Go into your room.

But by ‘room’ you must understand, not a room enclosed by walls that imprison your body, but the room that is within you, the room where you hide your thoughts, where you keep your affections. This room of prayer is always with you, wherever you are, and it is always a secret room, where only God can see you.  [St. Ambrose]

Cultivate your inner room, God is waiting.

May God Be Praised.
