Where the idea came from.
A lot of people find this site after seeing a film in which an older woman shows a younger one a closet she has emptied of everything except prayer. If that is you — welcome. Here is the honest note about it.
The practice of setting aside a private, decided place for prayer is not a modern invention and it does not belong to any film, author, or ministry. Jesus described it in the Sermon on the Mount: go into your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Christians have been doing exactly that for two thousand years — in closets, cells, barns, kitchens, prison cells, and parked cars.
Susanna Wesley, raising a house full of children in the eighteenth century, is said to have pulled her apron over her head when she needed to pray; her children knew not to interrupt. That is a prayer closet. It had no door at all.
A 2015 film brought the idea back into wide conversation, and we are genuinely glad it did. But this site is not about that film, does not use its name, and is not connected to the people who made it.
