Don't Pray to Impress People: Command #6
Manage episode 445569787 series 3598571
Some people are afraid to pray out loud where others will hear them. Others like praying out loud--maybe a little too much.
Jesus said, “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”
- Matthew 6:5-6
The real issue is our natural tendency to try to impress people. I guess it’s from the desire to be respected. I admit, I do still catch myself trying to impress people sometimes. How do we break the habit of pride?
