Matthew 6:5-8New International Version (NIV)
Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
God already knows what you need. When you go to God, you are not telling him something that he does not already know. When you pray, you get into an attitude and relationship with God. You know you will receive what you need when you ask him. When you have that kind of faith, you are hearing what God has to say to you.
Dear Father, You already know what I need. I will come to you, you already know what I need. When I am in prayer to you, Lord, my attitude comes alongside with you, Lord. I have a relationship with you, Lord. Thank you. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
