The Secret to Effective Prayer

“When you pray, find a secluded place and pray to your Father in private.  Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”  (Matthew 6: 6)

Father,

   How you love to hear my prayers and how I love your presence when praying,

      And how you love to answer my secret prayers with your open blessings.

   Help me to learn to pray quickly and to anticipate your answers fully,

      And answer my secret prayers with abundant rewards.

Amen
