“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” – Matthew 6:7-8 (ESV)

You need not be an eloquent speaker to pray; God knows our hearts, and our needs long before we utter a single syllable.  When we come to the Lord with an open heart, an open mind and a willing spirit, no matter what words are said our prayers are always received, and understood without question.

    This is awesome, just knowing God hears our prayers. Our words doesn’t have to be just perfect because He knows what is in our heart. Thanks for the reminder, Phil.

    Blessings to you.

    I am so thankful that God loves us they way we are and wants us to come to Him the way we are. We don’t have to be eloquent or change our voice/tone to pray. He just wants US. Great post.
