"But when you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.Matthew 6: 6Every day Jesus is reaching out to us, inviting us to be still and feel his loving presence. Jesus told his disciples, "But when you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." Matthew 6: 6. The "inner room" is not a physical place but is the interior place in our hearts. It's that quiet solitude, the deepest part of who we are and where we can meet the Lord personally. As Kendall Lasseigne's life, family, profession and ministry grew over 20 years, so did the constant demands placed on her time, often leaving her world filled with noise and distractions.As her faith deepened, her need to slow down and spend time quietly reflecting, journaling and talking with God increased. This solitude and love for writing became her private retreat, which she deemed her "inner room" This is a collection of the prayer poems which sprang up through years of journaling through life experiences, struggles, hurts, joys and blessings. The book "My Inner Room Prayer Poems to God" is written from the heart; inspired by the soul and invites you to spend quiet time with God in your own "inner room."

But when you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

—Matthew 6:6

In the morning let me hear of Your mercy, for in You I trust. Show me the path I should walk, for I entrust my life to You.

—Psalm 143:8

But when He comes, the Spirit of truth, He will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming.

—John 16:13

My Inner Room

Come, Holy Spirit, and inflame my heart.

I seek to understand;

Your wisdom, love, and constant light—

Please guide me by the hand.

Breathe in me Your breath of life.

Awake my sleeping soul.

Meet me in my inner room,

The place where we are whole.

I find my Jesus waiting there

In my sacred room and space.

His eyes light up; invites me in;

A smile upon His face.

It’s here I whisper gently to Him

My deepest, inmost thoughts.

My fears, my hurts, my joys, my love.

I open up my heart.

His loving eyes are gentle.

Reproach, I do not find.

He stands and hugs me tightly.

His words are soft and kind.

In my ear, He whispers

The words I long to hear;

“I will always love you.”

“You will always find Me here.”
