Getting in the secret place is not about the size of your space, but the quality of time you put into it.  Be intentional and purposeful about setting aside time and a place to be with God.  This is how I did mine.  It's cozy and quiet.  No music for me because sometimes I get distracted, but if that helps you connect with God, go for it.  Be creative.  Let's go boldly before the Throne of Grace.   I've found that using a prayer log (notebook, journal, etc.), helps me remember those that have asked for prayer.  I also use it to review my prayers from the previous day and I can take time out to thank God for prayers answered. and for prayers that are in route to be answered.  This can help encourage your faith.  What are some of your thoughts on what a prayer space can look like? 

The bible says, train up a child in the way that he/she should go, so when they are old, they would not depart from it.  It starts early.  As your rushing out the house to drop them off for school, just pick a couple scriptures for them to recite.  John 3:16 is a pretty easy one, or Psalm 23, the Lord's prayer.  It's also something they will memorize with repetition.  This is planting the seeds of training.  Getting the Word into our children at this age is so important because we are able to tap into that child-like faith that the bible talks about.  Make it your business to resite some scriptures with your children.  It doesn't matter how old.  These are seeds of protection and provision as you release them to the world.  Try it out for a week or two and see if it makes a difference.  We've got our little ones reminding us to say our prayers when we are rushing out and that's a Psalm 91 life!
