Praying to be Seen


"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.  Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full." -Matthew 6:5



The Praying Mantis is aptly named because it looks like it's praying.  But it really should be named Preying Mantis because a larger mantis will eat smaller mantises.

Jesus warns us that merely looking like we are praying will only be seen by others and not heard by God.  Living a pious-looking life may garner praise and acclaim by others, but it will not reunite us with God.

I am grateful that God will hear my prayers when I truly seek Him.
