We have a promise that God will hear our secret prayer, and reward us openly.
I am not trying to promote a ritualistic time of prayer. But how many of us go through the day praying as Rico stated he does, yet never take a definite time to be alone with the lover of our soul?

I am not trying to make a joke here, but when I am in the shower, in my car, reading these threads, etc., I
am alone. In fact, I am sitting in this room alone right now.
