A talk by Barry C. Black, 62nd Chaplain of the United States Senate.
Excerpt:      "What did Jesus teach his disciples about prayer? He told them to pray in solitude, and the Father who sees in secret would reward them openly...When we pray in solitude, we are more likely to hear the whisper of God’s still small voice... Perhaps this is why we are admonished in Psalms 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.” It is perhaps not coincidental that when God spoke to the boy Samuel (1 Samuel chapter 3), the child was resting on his bed. Find a solitary place to pray, your prayer will be more effective, more likely to bring an answer. Jesus also told His disciples to let their words be few; prayer involves listening as well as speaking."
