Practicing Righteousness or acts of righteousness, right living with others and with God.

The reward is being pleasing to God and being like Him.
Generosity comes from gratitude and compassion, two qualities not found in a proud person.
Prayer
Matthew 6:5-
When you pray, not if but when, do not be like the hypocrites.
What is their deal?
They love to be seen by others, praised by them as so holy
The Pharisees were known to be intentionally in public places at the known hours of prayer, just so they could pray in public to be seen by people.
So what’s Jesus’ answer to this problem, solitude and secrecy again, alone with God who sees in secret, with your heavenly Father.
What’s the reward?
Time with God, a conversation with our creator in His presence.
Is God concerned with what words are coming out of our mouths?
Do our prayers need to have big words, bible verses, go on for a really long time?
Of course not, God cares about us and our heart.
Does it matter what we pray for?
Matthew 6:9-
To who?
Our Father, Abba, daddy, who loves us and cares about our lives.
Where is He? in heaven, His dwelling place, spiritual place
Hallowed or Holy be your name, what does this mean?
His name should be revered, His name is
