WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000 Prayer is not a performance. 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.840 You will not be marked by how loud you shout 00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:12.080 or how fervently you engage this flesh. 00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:23.400 Don't reduce prayer to a religious ritual where impressive words 00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:28.480 matter more than sincere motives. 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.840 Who are we to think 00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:36.160 that our Maker does not see our motives? 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:40.200 You cannot hide from your Healer. 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:44.840 You can't disguise yourself before your Deliverer. 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:51.720 Our pretence cannot deceive our Provider. 00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:56.080 He knows you. He knows your heart. 00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:01.240 He sees you clearly. 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:07.560 The answer is to humble yourself 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.200 before His mighty hand. 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:22.080 Humility acknowledges wrong; pride justifies it. 00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:29.640 Humility opens up; pride covers up.
