West Milton, Ohio – June 10, 2011 | The Church of God

From this passage we see that prayer is not something to be showy about. The burden here is not necessarily that you open your coat closet and try to find some room in there for yourself to pray, but rather that you find a place of privacy where it is not so busy or so distracting. Sometimes it’s not so much the place that is the concern, but the time. Your living room may be a wonderful private place of prayer at 5 AM, but at 11 AM it may be different. The verse says, “…and when thou hast shut thy door…” You need to know how to shut the door of your mind to the distractions that so often come when once you set your mind to pray. You can pray, “Lord, you created my mind, help me think of nothing other than what I am doing right now.” Ten minutes of prayer with your “door shut” is better than an hour or two with your door open. There is no necessity to discover something that has already been discovered. No need to take a kite on a stormy night and attach a key to discover something about electricity. Benjamin Franklin has already done that for us. No need to attempt to design a light bulb and get it to burn for five hours. Thomas Edison took care of that. The farmers don’t have to experiment to see which plants strip and which add to the quality of the soil. George Washington Carver has taken that in hand. In I Kings 18 Elijah didn’t just go to prayer when the prophets of Baal were finished vainly calling on Baal. He first restored the altar. He connected to what had already been done successfully in the past and built it not with 15 stones but with 12 stones, one for each of the tribes of Israel. By pouring an abundance of water on, he made sure that man’s fire could have no effect on what had been done. Then he prayed a short and simple prayer that further connected him with men who were known to be connected to God—Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
