Pray From Your Heart

Hey y'all, here's some rainy day encouragement for you...

“And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  So do not be like them [praying as they do]; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
MATTHEW 6:7‭-‬8 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.6.7-8.AMP

NIV Translation
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Matthew 6:7‭-‬8 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.6.7-8.NIV

TPT Version
When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like those who don’t know God, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words.  There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.
Matthew 6:7‭-‬8 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/mat.6.7-8.TPT

MSG Translation
“The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this: Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes.
Matthew 6:7‭-‬13 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.6.7-13.MSG

Of course the enemy is going to try to make us think we can't pray properly and so on and so forth since praying is one of the best things for us to do but let's not fall for that false trap. These scriptures plainly tell us that as long as we are praying from our heart, that's what really matters since God already knows what we need BEFORE we even do! How awesome is that?

Much love and may peace be with you all
