The Father, out of His eternal goodness in Christ, rewards those who come to Him by faith. Therefore, all believers should be motivated to pray because God is far better to us than we will ever deserve or ever could imagine. In Matthew 6:5–8, Jesus offers his instructions on prayer, which contain two warnings: guard against hypocrisy and guard against manipulation, and two admonitions: prayer cultivates genuine humility, and prayer reveals our Father's goodness.
