Matthew 6:6-9 But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward. ⁷ And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words. ⁸ So be not like them; because your Father has knowledge of your needs even before you make your requests to him. ⁹ Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
