Long Prayers

• Matthew 23:14 (ASV)

---

I suppose that some would look at this verse and their take-away would be, "Jesus doesn't want or need us to pray long prayers." That would be a mistake, as Jesus is clearly stating that the religious who purposefully pray lengthy prayers as part of a "Look at how holy I am" public display... will be condemned. But as for us, genuinely seeking God, sincerely crying out for His wisdom/guidance/direction/presence/etc. -- pray on!
