And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets to be seen by men. Assuredly I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut the door and pray to your Father who is in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly... (Matthew 6:5-6)
