Secret Prayer
When Jesus advised his disciples to pray in the confines and secrecy of their rooms, He was
giving this advice as part of a broader criticism of public displays of piety. The first verse of
the sixth chapter of Matthew tells us to “Beware of practicing your piety before men in
order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in
heaven.” (Matthew 6.1) We probably cannot rid ourselves of all public displays of religion,
unless we were to stop going to church and refrained from praying with others alto
gether. And, it is not the public nature of prayer that Jesus is railing against here so
much as it is the puffed up, hypocritical, almost boasting attitude of the person who
prays to make a show of it. In the Bible, Jesus frequently criticizes those, like the
Pharisees, who make a pretentious show of their faith. In those days, this was likely
to mean praying loudly in the synagogues, advertising one’s charity, or wearing broad
phylacteries boxes (strapped around one’s head or arm and containing quotes form
scripture). Even today, one does not have to look hard to find the modern counterpart
to these actions. Are there aspects of our faith which are intended for others to see? If
so, we have our reward already.
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in
secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. R.S.V. Matthew 6.3-4
