This first part is the battle of flesh and spirit and what God looks at. We can do lots of good stuff but if motives are wrong does it really mean anything? We need to humble ourselves and do the things in private that really matter. Do it quietly and don't make it a big deal- its not about you or us but about them and God so make sure you are bring glory to the right name.
This can be said for pray as well, and you don't have to do it and make sure everybody sees you. This doesn't make you any better, only draws attention to you and away from God. But do it where its only you and God. (not only is that the way God prefers it but its the way that works better and that you can focus and that you can be still and all and give God and opportunity to talk to you. has to be two ways). Prayers don't have to be long, and wordy and these great things. Even the simplest prayers are meaningful and God knows the heart of the, just pray as you feel Holy Spirit lead and thats good enough. We get the Lords prayer and the Model for us to us and pray with, not only that a nice way to help try to live our lives. We need to give God the glory he deserves, and that its be his will that we accomplish today. I love the part about temptation because its something that happens every day but don't know if is always prayed for. Then the big on of forgiveness- takes a couple lines so much be important to ask for God for forgiveness and also to do it to others. These two things often times keep us from moving forward.
Read the last part but will think and wait for another day to really dive into it.
