In this episode, we study two things Jesus says we should avoid when praying. Hypocrites pretend to be someone they are not, especially in matters of religion, desiring admiration and praise.

Genuine prayer leads to a reward from God - the focused attention of God and the experience of His presence.

Countless numbers of Christians throughout history have been busy, and probably, busier than any of us. If we are honest, we use our busyness as an excuse.
