AND WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT HEAP UP PHRASES (MULTIPLY WORDS, REPEATING THE SAME ONES OVER AND OVER) AS THE GENTILES DO, FOR THEY THINK THEY WILL BE HEARD FOR THEIR MUCH SPEAKING. MATTHEW 6:7 Too often we get caught up in our own works concerning prayer. Sometimes we try to pray so long, loud, and fancy that we lose sight of the fact that prayer is simply conversation with God. The length and loudness or eloquence of our prayer is not the issue -- it is the sincerity of our heart and our faith God hears that is important. We must develop simple, believing prayer. We need the confidence that even if we only sa, "God, help me," He hears and will answer. We should believe that God wants to help us because He is our Helper (see Hebrews 13:6). We can depend on God to be faithful to do what we have asked Him to do, as long as our request is in accordance with His will.
