Jesus instructs His Disciples on Prayer:
Let's continue looking at Jesus' instructions in
Matthew chapter 6:
 "And
when you are praying, do not use meaningless
repetition, as the Gentiles do, for they suppose
that they will be heard for their many words. 8
"Therefore do not be
 like them; for your Father
knows what you need, before you ask Him. Matthew
6:7-8 (NAS)
Question:
According to Matthew 6:7-8, we should not
repeat the things that we are praying for if such
repetition is what?
