Jesus teaches us that when we pray, to go into that secret place and shut the door so that you may pray in earnest to the Father. If you recall, our physical body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who indwells us. So, as it was in the temple of old, the temple had an area called the Holy of Holies where the high priest would come into the presence of the Lord. So it is in New Covenant days. Now we no longer have the physical temple, but our body and our mind have the Spirit of God forwhom we are His temple. So as we approach God, go into a secret place so we can offer our petitions in all sincerity.
Daily Prayer: Father, we are thankful that our petitions can be made by each of us daily. No longer are we dependant on a high priest to come before you for us, because we have Your Son who is the Great High Priest who by His Sacrifice, opened the door to all who come to you by faith. Teach us now to use the great gift you have given us to help us through the trials of life. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
