Five Minute Bible Study: Part 2 Prayer
Spending time with Dr. Christina by Dr. Christina PHD
Episode notes
In this bible study, praying in the “secret place” is about developing a deep, authentic walk with God—not just practicing religion outwardly. The foundation for this comes directly from Jesus Christ in the Bible, especially Matthew 6:6.
And, we pray in secret because:
1. It’s a command and model from Jesus
In Matthew 6:6, Jesus teaches believers to go into a private place and pray to the Father “who is unseen.” This shows that secret prayer isn’t optional—it’s part of a faithful, obedient life.
2. It reveals your true motives

- God’s presence
- or people’s approval
It purifies your intentions.
3. It builds intimacy with God
