#5.  Pray in private, not in public. (Matthew 6:5-6)

When you pray, don’t be like hypocrites who like to stand up and pray in the synagogues and the streets so people can see them. They’ve got what they wanted. When you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your father who can’t be seen. Then your father, seeing what is done privately, will reward you.
