Here Jesus preaching about prayer. But as I told you, almost all people around Him were ordinary ignorant people who are behind, prostitutes and money lending etc etc. For such people Jesus introduced the concept of God. Such people are so selfish they only remember God for their selfish matters only. To bring them to atleast some level above the ground Lord preached them alteast how to pray.
Some where else He preached to His disciple that even before you pray God knows your needs.
Here see the contract. To those deserving devotees who love and serve Him without any expecation there is no need of prayer, because they are serving Lord without any selfishness, for them the wish of Lord is the most important, whatever God wishes they are ready to accept. They have no personal choice and selfishness. Lord love such people only and dies for such peoples sins not for all people.
Now, Christanity is polluted by selfish prayer and meaning less preaching. They tell there is no need for spiritual effort and you are already saved. If Jesus see all these foolishness of christian priest how much He would be sorrow ful, just think.
I think these christians if continue like this never get salvation, because they are bound to this world by their selfishness.
