Jesus said, “When you pray, go to your private room and, when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in that secret place” (Matthew 6:6). The secret place where we encounter God in a truly transformational way is in our inner self. Prayer is meeting God in the darkness and solitude of that secret place. Nothing less than such an encounter with God in the depths of our soul will provide access to the deep knowing of both God and self that is our true home.
