Matthew 6:5-8
The Lord’s Prayer
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love ato stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. bTruly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, ago into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. bAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as athe Gentiles do, for bthey think that they will be heard cfor their many words. 8 Do not be like them, afor your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
