Here is an article on 'prayer closets' and 'war rooms'. Any thoughts on this article ?

What I have noticed and I wonder if others have noticed this too, is when it comes to praying, it seems to me the ladies are much more active in talking about prayer and prayer needs than men are.
Personally, I have not been one who spends time each day in an isolated prayer closet where there is nothing to distract me. I talk to the Lord more 'on the fly', throughout the day. Some days more than others. But I do think there is something in what Jesus says here that is important and not just a way of saying don't be praying in public to impress others as the Pharisees where.
Jesus said -
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
I had an aunt who had a small room (like a large closet with a small window) who furnished that little prayer spot and made it sound proof for her periods of prayer throughout the day. One could only see the sky through the window. She spent much time in prayer and her living reflected a person very intune with God. When I think of anyone that lives in a way to continuously be filled with the Spirit, I think of her. Often speaking in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs making melody in her heart unto the Lord throughout the day.
Jesus also got away from distractions to be alone with the Father. If He thought it important, so should I but I get lazy with my spiritual disciplines.
Perhaps as others share their prayer experiences it will be an encouragement to those like me to create some new prayer habits.
