"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."

Guided Prayer: God, help us  pray in a way that is humble. Help us keep our egos in check while we maintain a posture of honoring you through our prayers to you. Thank you for the gift of prayer and that we can talk to you like we’d talk to anyone else. We don’t have to use fancy words or quote scripture back to you. We can come as we are, and simply speak. Thank you for this gift, help us to not take it for granted.

Independent Prayer: Spend the next minute talking to God how you’d talk to your favorite person.
