The Fear That’s Keeping You from Prayer (And How to Overcome It)
Are you afraid to approach God?
Jesus says, "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them... But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you." Matthew 6:5-6
Fr. Mike reminds us that God sees us, notices us and cares for us. Don't be afraid to approach the throne of grace.
