Have you ever heard of a prayer closet? Most people don’t have the space to have an entire room dedicated to quiet time with the Lord, so this is one way that some people are carving out a little space dedicated to prayer. So, we rounded up some of our favorite DIY prayer closet ideas to share with you.
Some people actually do use a closet or a part of one, but others find some space in a corner of a room, a small section of a wall, or even by creating something portable that they can carry with them anywhere.
