Listen to Matteo 6:8
8 Non li rassomigliate dunque, poiché il Padre vostro sa le cose di cui avete bisogno, prima che gliele chiediate.

Matteo 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 6:8

Be not ye therefore like unto them
. Do not be imitators of them, and follow their ways, who have only the dim light of nature to guide them; it would be shameful in you to do as they do, when you have a divine revelation for your direction; and especially, because

your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him;
and therefore have no need to make use of many words, or much speaking, or long prayers. The omniscience of God is a considerable argument, and a great encouragement to prayer; he knows our persons and our wants before hand; and as he is able to help us, we have reason to believe he will; especially since he stands in the relation of a Father to us.

Matteo 6:8 In-Context

6 Ma tu, quando preghi, entra nella tua cameretta, e serratone l’uscio fa’ orazione al Padre tuo che è nel segreto; e il Padre tuo che vede nel segreto, te ne darà la ricompensa.
7 E nel pregare non usate soverchie dicerie come fanno i pagani, i quali pensano d’essere esauditi per la moltitudine delle loro parole.
8 Non li rassomigliate dunque, poiché il Padre vostro sa le cose di cui avete bisogno, prima che gliele chiediate.
9 Voi dunque pregate così: Padre nostro che sei nei cieli, sia santificato il tuo nome;
10 venga il tuo regno; sia fatta la tua volontà anche in terra com’è fatta nel cielo.
