2. Matthew 6:5-6
"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 men. I tell you the truth,
they have received their reward in
full. [6] But when you pray, go into
your room, close the door and pray
to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is
done in secret, will reward you. "

wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I
know that full well.
[15] My frame was not hidden from you when I
was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of
the earth,
[16] your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in
your book before one of them came to be.

are you downhearted? Don't I mean
more to you than ten sons?"
