This is an invitation to enter into a season of being hidden away with Almighty God; to unite your heart to His; to engage in relationship with Him. You are invited into a place of peace, refuge, joy, friendship, fellowship, vulnerability, intimacy and acceptance. God longs to meet with you. He desires to speak tenderly to you. He waits for your response to Him. Perhaps you: *have never prayed before except in times of great need *do not believe that prayer is effective *are broken by the pressures of life or disappointments *have prayed for many years and have not seen the answers you desired *feel like God is distant and remote *avoid prayer because you feel ashamed, sinful, or unworthy *have tried prayer and it didn't seem to work *are faithless or feel that you have just a little faith *love to pray and have been one who has enjoyed the secret place of prayer for many years, but you still long for more of God No matter where you are, the Father's heart is open wide to welcome you to come into the quiet place of prayer. God receives us just as we are. There are no "prerequisites" to meeting with Him. Jesus is all about relationship. This secret place experience is a time to fix your eyes on Jesus as His eyes are fixed on you. He wants to fellowship with you. Each chapter is divided into five days, so you can read one day of each chapter for five days in a week. There are questions at the end of each day (and sometimes in the reading) that you can answer in this book or write out in a journal. Take your time as you go through this book. My goal is that you will fall in love with Jesus more and more, knowing that He is so very much in love with you! Don't hurry through this just to finish allow the Holy Spirit to breathe the DNA of Jesus into your body, soul & spirit!
