My

"Unto Thee have I cried, O Lord; and in the morning shall
my prayer prevent me" (Ps. 11:13).

When
thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for
they love to pray, standing in the synagogues, and in the
corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. But
when thou prayest, enter into thy closet; and, when thou hast
shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and
thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen
do; for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking. Be not ye, therefore, like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before
ye ask Him (Matt. 6:5-8).
"They have not cried unto me with their heart, when they
howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn

our speech by reason of darkness" (Job 37:19).
"Take with you words, and turn to the Lord; say unto
Him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously; so
will we render the calves of our lips" (Heb. 14:2).
