6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Is that your take on this passage???!!! IT'S A SECRET???!!!

WOW! All this time I thought that it meant that God would sooner hear a whispered or even silent paryer from a person secreted within a closet that the PUBLIC RANTINGS AND GESTICULATIONS . . . BLASTINGS FROM TV's . . . I thought it meant that a silent prayer - unspoken - from a pure heart had more of a chance for an audience with God than public prayer.
