When you pray, go away by yourself..pray to your Father in private…
The scripture for today’s prayer:
“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. 6 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.
7 “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!
Matthew 6:5-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am comforted that you know exactly my need even before I ask. It is a reminder of your constant presence and your love, mercy and grace. I shall reflect on this as I go about my day today. Amen.
