Matthew 6:6-8
6:6 But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
6:7 When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.
6:8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
