"Religious Trappings"

I. Luke 11:1 1. We all need to be taught how to pray 2. Everyone prays James 4:2-3 .... We have not because we ask not, ye ask and receive not because we ask amiss that you may consume it upon your own lusts.

(NLT) ... you don't get it because your motives are all wrong

Matt. 6:1-9
There is a right way and wrong way to pray
