Day 20: Prayer pt. 1

Scripture:
  • Matthew 6:5-8 Likewise, when you pray, do not be as hypocrites who love to pray loudly at synagogue or on street corners—their concern is to be seen by men. They have already earned their reward. When you pray, go into a private room, close the door, and pray unseen to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not go on and on, excessively and strangely like the outsiders; they think their verbosity will let them be heard by their deities. Do not be like them. Your prayers need not be labored or lengthy or grandiose—for your Father knows what you need before you ever ask Him.

Consider:
  • What does this passage teach about how to pray?

  • Do you have a quiet place to meet with God each morning?

Prayer focus:
  • Give your requests to God today. Pray for what you need.
  • Pray for some people in your life who have specific needs.
