Matt 6:5-8
What a praying person is not to do:
He isn't to pray in such a way to draw attention to himself.
He isn't to pray the same words over and over again.
What a praying person is to do:
He is to go some place to be alone,or if he can't be alone in a room or place,be alone with God in his thoughts.Commune with God quietly or silently.
He is to speak to God from his heart.
God is our heavenly Daddy,and like our earthly daddy knows what we need each day,so does God,even more so,since He is our all-knowing Creator.So why would we need to make requests to our daddies?
It has to do with relationship.If we didn't talk to someone,what kind of relationship would we have with that person?Likely we wouldn't have any relationship with them and that person would be quite hurt.Our earthly father wants a relationship with us,but our heavenly Father wants a relationship with us even more so.That's why He created us.It's easy to have a relationship with our earthly daddy.We can see and hear him,but God is Spirit.We have to see and hear him with our heart.Yet,God will speak with us and wants to,if we'll talk to Him.
So how shall we pray?
