'Praying' in the Bible

"And when praying, you must not be like the hypocrites. They are fond of standing and praying in the synagogues or at the corners of the wider streets, in order that men may see them. I solemnly tell you that they already have their reward.

"And when praying, do not use needless repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they expect to be listened to because of their multitude of words.
