Matthew 6:6-8

6But as for you, when you pray, 1go into your inner room, close your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret; and 2your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

7“And when you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their 3many words. 8So do not be like them; for 4your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
