Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

[This is our Lord Jesus Christ speaking here (God in the flesh). The point is, which do you want? Reward from our Father in heaven or to be seen by other men]?

Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luke 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

[In the two verses above, Jesus gives us an example of the wrong way and wrong reason to pray. Jesus knew that the Pharisees’ desire was to be seen by men as righteous, not really to talk to God. This statement about prayer was meant to convict and is instructive for all Christians, but it does not mean that all prayer must be done in secret. Don’t pray seeking reward from other humans; wrong reason. Do it for the right reason as in Matthew 6:6 above].

Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

[In the two verses above He gives us a good example of the right reason to pray and the right way to pray; humbly].

There is a right reason and a wrong reason for doing pretty much everything, prayer included. Keep studying the entire Bible my friends.
