How NOT to Pray

Scripture: Matthew 6:5-13; 1 Kings 18:26-29, 36-38; Acts 19:34; Luke 18:1-7; Matthew 14:22-25

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 6:1 (ESV)
  1. Like You Aren’t Heard
  2. Repetition, Redundancy, and Repetition
  3. Many Words

“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. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Matthew 6:7-8 (ESV)
