Shut the Door in Prayer

God is often lost in prayer and ordinances. “Enter into thy closet,” said he, “and shut thy door about thee.” “Shut thy door about thee,” means much; it means shut out not only frivolity but business, not only company abroad but company at home; it means let thy poor soul have a little rest and refreshment, and God have an opportunity to speak to thee in a still, small voice, or he will speak in thunder. I am persuaded the Lord would often speak more softly if we would “shut the door.”
