Your secret place

Alice Swain Bailey

Do you have a secret place in your house or out in your garden or down the road? A place no one knows about except you? You feel special and safe there. You might go there when you don't want to play with your friends and you just want to be quiet.

Everyone can have another kind of secret place. This place doesn't need to be in the garden or in the house. It is a "place" of thinking called prayer.

Christ Jesus talked a lot about prayer in his Sermon on the Mount—both about how to pray and how not to pray. He pointed out how wrong it was to make a big show out of prayer, to use words or attend church to impress people. Then he said, "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."^{Matt. 6:6.}
