Praying by Stealth

Matthew 6:6 - "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."

Do we hide our prayer habits so that others cannot see them? Or, do we make sure we are seen by others? Public prayer rooms are wonderful. However, if we are not seeking to hide ourselves from men's approval then we cannot be hidden in God for His purposes, or for His pleasure.

We must covertly offer up prayers continually. As a result, others may not overtly see the act of prayer, but rather breathe prayer's fragrance. If we are interceding continually to God then no one will need to see us, but it will be evident by the aroma of Christ upon our lives. Beloved, may we all seek to stealthily hide our prayer life from men. For in so doing, God will make it evident to all both in this life and the one to come.
