The Inner Room

It is a radical and life-changing practice to follow Jesus’s advice about prayer. We are invited to step into solitude and close the door. No public display, no bragging rights, no distractions. We leave the ego at the door. Jesus toppled the conventions of his day. He called his followers into intimacy with God, who he referred to as Abba, a term of endearment, tenderness and closeness. He did not tell his followers to make grandiose gestures of devotion. He directed them to get quiet and get real.
