Jesus didn't say, “Dream about your Father who is in the secret place,” but He said, “. . . pray to your Father who is in the secret place. . . .” Prayer is an effort of the mind, will, emotions and spirit. After we have entered into our secret place and shut the door, the most difficult thing to do is to pray. The great battle in private prayer is overcoming this problem of our idle and wandering thinking. We have to learn to discipline our minds, out time and our hearts and concentrate on willful, deliberate prayer.
