Don’t Pray Like The Hypocrite

Category: City Pastor's Teachings
Matthew 6:7-13
When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth that is all the reward they will ever get! But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private.
Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
The first thing that is required of you when you want to pray is to find a quiet place, after you have ensured that you don’t have grudges against anyone. Secret place in the sense, that your prayer is an activity between you and your creator, God, Almighty.

Many Christians make the mistake of thinking that the much noise they make
while praying is what gives them the answer to what they are looking for,
no!
The bible says when you pray; you go into a private place and pray to your Father in heaven.
Really, if God sees everything, if God knows everything, if God hears everything and even knows what is in your heart, then truly, shouting while praying may not really be necessary. I am not talking about a church congregation prayer or a public prayer. I am talking about how you do your individual praying.
In fact, your prayer does not rely on how many times you repeat your prayer points. Since God is not like man that you need to beg to get something from, God hears you the very first time you make a request to Him.
