How NOT to Pray
Matthew 6:5-8
#1) Don’t Perform (be a hypocrite)
Wrong Action: Public Prayer without Private Prayer
Wrong Motive: To Be Seen by People
Why Not? Seeking Crowd Approval instead of God
#2) Don’t Babble (like the pagans)
Wrong Action: Empty Repetition
Wrong Motive: Manipulate God
Why Not? Your Father already knows and cares.
