It’s a big event. You’re asked to say grace for the meal. What happens?

- I panic
- I scribble some notes on a napkin
- I repeat a memorized prayer

If praying in public puts you in a panic, your focus is on the people around you and not God. You’re turning it into a performance, not a prayer.
Matthew 6:5 (CEV)
When you pray, don’t be like those show-offs who love to stand up and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners. They do this just to look good.
It’s not about looking good. It’s about God.
