"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Thought: Yesterdays sermon was about our prayerful life. When we approach God in prayer to be "Sincere." To be "Private", and yes, to be "Childish"
A Sincere heart is filled with Grace, is dependant, humble and troubled.
Private Prayer, is a place of seperation, seculsion, silence and a secret place, just God and you.
Childish, is respectful, trusting and open. If we pray like a child our prayer will truly be as a child to their Father and will be honest and from the heart.
