“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
Matthew
Jesus asked His disciples not to be hypocrites.
ὑποκριτής hypocrite (actor): a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives.
Reward
μισθός misthos: a payment for worthy acts or retribution for wrongdoing; understood as a tangible wage.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Reward
ἀποδίδωμι apodidomi: to reward or punish (whether tangible or intangibly) based upon what a person deserves.

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.
Vain repetition
βατταλογέω battologeō: a word occurring only here in the NT, for which the following meanings have been suggested: “to speak stammeringly,” “to say the same thing over and over again,” “to babble,” “to rattle off,” “to speak without giving thought to what is spoken.”

“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

Prayer does not provide God with information of what He would otherwise be unaware, nor is it intended as a means of persuading Him to do what He would otherwise be unwilling to do. Prayer links us with the Omniscient One, and conditions our wills to cooperate effectively with His will.

“Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.” SC 93

Our hearts need to be prepared for pray. Our rewards depend on it. God is not our last option He is our only option.

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:
Knowing to whom you are praying to and his authority creates adoration.
As Jesus demonstrated this sample prayer to His disciples, He demonstrated that He wanted to be connected to God’s major plan of bringing God’s kingdom down to earth by being a tool for God’s will to be done here on earth through Him.
Give us this day our daily bread.

ἐπιούσιος epiousios, a word that appears in the NT only here... Its exact meaning is uncertain. The single occurrence of the word in secular Greek literature throws little light on its meaning. Among the meanings suggested are the following: (1) necessary for existence, (2) for the present day, (3) for the coming day.

When God is your provider then He can intercede for you.
Today’s prayer is not enough for tomorrow. Such as the people of God had to get up every morning to receive their daily bread of Mana, God wants you to depend on Him through pray every day and receive Him as your daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
Matthew 6:12
Forgive
ἀφίημι aphiēmi, a common word in the NT, frequently meaning “to send away,” or “to dismiss,” “to leave”...The meaning “to forgive” is probably based on the idea that the repentant petitioning soul is sent away in peace.
Nichol, F. D. (Ed.). (1980). The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary (Vol. 5, p. 347). Review and Herald Publishing Association.
Jesus teaches us that the only one that can forgive the debt of sin is God. We need to ask for forgiveness and learn how to forgive. We need to learn how to confess our sins not only to God but also to our brother and sisters.
Matthew 6:
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Jesus teaches us that the only one that can forgive the debt of sin is God. We need to ask for forgiveness and learn how to forgive. We need to learn how to confess our sins not only to God but also to our brother and sisters.
And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Matthew 6:
Temptation
πειρασμός peirasmos, “temptation,” also “trial,” or “test,” .....The petition should perhaps be understood as a request, “Do not permit us to enter into temptation” (see ; see on ). This part of the Lord’s Prayer is sometimes understood as a plea to God to remove all temptation from us. But God’s promise is not that we shall be protected from temptation, but that we shall be protected from falling (). Too often we willfully place ourselves in the way of temptation (see on ). Truly to pray “lead us not into temptation” is to renounce the ways of our own choosing and to submit to the ways of God’s choosing.
