Have you felt like you did not understand how to pray? Jesus knew that we might not understand how to wish ; therefore , He gave us some axioms for developing a prayer relationship with the heavenly pa so we are able to get our prayers answered.

Jesus said, When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they like to wish standing in the syna-gogues and in the corners of the streets, that they could be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. ( Matthew 6:5 )

Maybe you've seen the type of person Jesus was talking about. You know, those that ensure everybody sees them praying in church, but when they're going home they live like the demon. It's all a show. They shouldn't be sur-prised when their prayers are not an-swered.

In the subsequent verse, Jesus tells us to get into an atmosphere of prayer : But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret ; and thy pa which seeth in secret shall reward thee overtly ( v. 6 ).

Now Jesus doesn't suggest you have got to go into your closet, push your shoes and garments aside, and sit there and pray. He is pronouncing to get alone with God in some quiet place, if only in your thoughts, and start to pray in earnest, in sincerity, out of your heart.

Being alone with the daddy, with no other eyes on you but His, gives you the liberty to be open and totally honest with Him. It can help you be-gin to develop a private, loving rela-tionship between you and God which opens the door for your requests to be answered.
