Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
We do like to have things repeated at times. We do like to repeat things at times. But do we like listening to people who are repeating themselves over and over again?
When we want to take our prayers to God we need to be honest with Him and we need to focus on what we actually are praying for.
When we are very young we tend to ask for things over and over again – our parents could tell us of all the times we have made them mad by asking for the same things time and time again.
Treating God as if He is nothing more than someone we just want to get something out of not treating Him in a right and proper manner. Let us do it properly and with thought!
