S – But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you., 7 When you pray, don’t babble like the Gentiles, since they imagine they’ll be heard for their many words.
Matthew 6:6–7 CSB
O – “Secret” – kruptŏs, kroop-tos´; concealed, i.e. private:— hid (-den), inward [-ly], secret.
The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words
When you pray individually, it should be private (secluded from the display of others) and inward (coming from within). God will see those prayers and answer them. Don’t think your eloquateness or length of prayer makes a difference.
A – A relationship goes better when it is genuine and from the heart. Our prayers should be that. Not a list that prattles on but a relationship building conversation.
R – Lord, thank you that I can talk to you and you want to talk with me. In getting to know you, I reverence you as the God of everything. Yet, you allow me to share my heart in good and challenging situations. Meet me in those moments so I can grow closer to you.
