âThe power of religion and godliness lives, thrives, or dies, as closet prayer lives, thrives, or dies.â This was the deeply held conviction of Thomas Brooks. As a pastor who knew his people well, he feared that many Christians did not understand the ânecessity, excellency, and usefulnessâ of private prayer, and that many lived in âtoo great a neglect of this indispensable duty.â
Focusing on our Lordâs words about âcloset prayerâ in Matthew 6:6, Brooks supplies us with a masterful treatment of a vitally important aspect of the Christianâs life. His aim is intensely practical: âto preserve and keep up the power of religion and godliness both in menâs houses, hearts, and lives.â
