prayer closet
Private worship space
A prayer closet is a private space set aside for prayer and spiritual devotion—originally a literal small room or closet, now often any secluded spot where someone retreats for quiet communion with God.
The term comes from Matthew 6:6, where Jesus instructs followers to pray in secret rather than publicly.
She spent an hour in her prayer closet each morning before work.
