Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Matthew 6:8
BSB
Read Matthew 6 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Matthew 6)
He already knows
Jesus warns against many words and vain repetitions, as if you had to persuade God. Straight afterwards he teaches the Lord's Prayer, a short prayer.
If God already knows, why pray? Because prayer isn't passing on information. It is relationship. A child also tells their father things he already knows.
Question for today
Do I pray to inform God, or to be with him?
Prayer
Father, you already know what I need. Still I want to tell you. Not because you need to hear it, but because I want to be with you. Amen.
