Abstract: Prayer is the core of Christian spirituality, yet its essence is often overshadowed by formalism, routine, or self-presentation. Matthew 6:6-7 contains Jesus' teaching on prayer, emphasizing intimacy and sincerity as the foundation for communication with God. This study employs hermeneutic and linguistic methods to analyze key terms like tameion (private space), battalogeo (vain repetition), and ethnikoi (Gentiles), exploring their historical, theological, and cultural context. Results reveal that Jesus challenges the performative religiosity of His time, calling for personal and relational prayer that prioritizes quality over quantity. Theologically, this teaching introduces a profound understanding of God as a loving Father who knows human needs before they are spoken. This study highlights the relevance of Jesus' principles in overcoming modern challenges like digital distractions and performative spirituality. It concludes that authentic prayer is an act of faith, dependence, and love, fostering an intimate relationship with God.
Abstrak: Doa merupakan inti dari kerohanian Kristen, namun esensinya sering kali dibayangi oleh formalisme, rutinitas, atau presentasi diri. Matius 6:6-7 memuat ajaran Yesus tentang doa, yang menekankan keintiman dan ketulusan sebagai dasar komunikasi dengan Tuhan. Kajian ini menggunakan metode hermeneutik dan linguistik untuk menganalisis istilah-istilah kunci seperti tameion (ruang privat), battalogeo (pengulangan yang sia-sia), dan ethnikoi (bangsa-bangsa lain), dengan mengeksplorasi konteks historis, teologis, dan budayanya. Hasilnya mengungkapkan bahwa Yesus menantang religiositas performatif pada zaman-Nya, menyerukan doa pribadi dan relasional yang mengutamakan kualitas daripada kuantitas. Secara teologis, ajaran ini memperkenalkan pemahaman yang mendalam tentang Tuhan sebagai Bapa yang penuh kasih yang mengetahui kebutuhan manusia sebelum kebutuhan itu diucapkan. Kajian ini menyoroti relevansi prinsip-prinsip Yesus dalam mengatasi tantangan modern seperti gangguan digital dan kerohanian performatif. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa doa yang autentik adalah tindakan iman, ketergantungan, dan kasih, yang membina hubungan yang intim dengan Tuhan.
