TO THE BIBLE:
Matthew 6:7 ESV
“Don’t recite the same prayer over and over as the heathen do, who think prayers are answered only by repeating them again and again.”

LET’S TALK
A certain sculptor sat before a massive block of marble. He didn’t rush to strike it with his chisel. Instead, he spent hours sketching, envisioning, and aligning his mind with the form he intended to reveal. Only then did he begin to work.

Prayer is much like that. Many approach God’s throne hastily, with unformed words and scattered thoughts, hoping that sheer length or repetition will suffice. But the Lord Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:7 not to pray “vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” True prayer is not careless utterance; it is a spiritual alignment, a purposeful engagement with the Father.

When you plan your prayer, you bring order to your fellowship. You’re not reducing the time spent with God—you’re elevating it. By taking a moment to write down the matters of your heart—your desires, the areas where you need His guidance, and even the thoughts He has already impressed upon you—you position yourself to pray with clarity and faith.

Then, as you yield to the Spirit in tongues, you transcend human vocabulary. You speak mysteries, articulating divine secrets that only heaven can decode. It’ll help to always take a moment to write down the things you want to talk to the Lord about. Think about the areas of your life where you desire His guidance, intervention and blessings. Also, consider the thoughts and insights He might have already stirred in your heart. Then, you speak in tongues. Through speaking in tongues, you articulate divine mysteries and gain insight into realities beyond human comprehension.

GO DEEPER
Matthew 6:5-7
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

PRAY
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the privilege of prayer and for the wisdom of your Word. I pray with reverence and purpose, guided by your Spirit to speak words that are filled with faith and divine insight, making my words in prayer effective. Thank you for the assurance of answers, for you hear me always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
