Matthew 6:6-7

But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

    strains against Matthew 6:6-7

    Prayer here is repurposed as a seductive prelude rather than genuine communion with God, emptying the word of its meaning.
