"But if you stay joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted!... When you obey me, you remain in my love" (John 15:7, 10)
If you make the morning hour holy to the Lord, the day with its duties will be holy.
Do not forget the close bond between the inner chamber and the outer world. The attitude of prayer must remain with us all day. The object of prayer is to unite us with God that we may have Him always with us.
Sin, thoughtlessness, and yeilding to the flesh or to the world make us unfit for communion with God and bring a cloud over the soul. If you have stumbled or fallen, return to God in prayer. First invoke the blood of Jesus and claim cleansing by it. Do not rest till by confession you have repented of and put away your sin. Let the precious blood really give you a fresh freedom of approach to God.
Remember that the roots of your life in the inner chamber strike far out in body and soul so as to manifest themselves in daily life. Let the obedience of faith, in which you pray in secret, rule you constantly.
The inner chamber is intended to bind us to God, to supply us with power from God, to enable us to live for God alone. Thank God for the inner chamber and for the life which He will enable us to experience and nourish there.
