CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The scripture of the day is from Matthew 6: 5-9.

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love xto stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. yTruly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, zgo into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. aAnd your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as bthe Gentiles do, for cthey think that they will be heard dfor their many words. Do not be like them, efor your Father knows what you need before you ask him. fPray then like this:  (then the Lord’s Prayer is recited).

When we pray, we do not have to worry about praying with beautiful sentences or big words.  God wants you to be yourself.  God also wants time with you alone.  He made you and desires relationship with you, conversation with you.  Because He wants conversation with you, both talk to Him and listen to Him.  Take time to listen in prayer.  If things happen in your day, ask God what He is wanting you to learn from those things.  What is God trying to tell you?  And remember, when talking to God, that He is Love.  Do not shy away from your father, who created you, who knows you, who loves you.
