When we pray, we must not seek validation or praise from people, but we should humble our hearts before God in the spirit of truth.
The heart is where the righteousness that God seeks begins. As much as words and deeds, thoughts and attitudes also contribute to holiness.

The Father will not reward acts of spiritual pride that pass for acts of righteousness because one cannot “do good” for the wrong reasons, not even in prayer.

1 Corinthians 12:12-22 – A Body With Many Members
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. …
1 Corinthians 12:12-22 (ESV)
In the body of Christ, harmony does not imply perfect agreement and uniformity. Even if upholding the body’s oneness is essential, it’s highly significant to cherish the distinctive traits that make each of us individual “parts” of the body of Christ.
It is essential to emphasize and value both unity and individuality. When we remember that Christ is our common denominator, this promotes a healthy church, and he unites us as one.
Hebrews 10:24-25 -Encouraging One Another
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV)
The life of an obedient Christian revolves around both encouraging others and receiving encouragement from others.
We should embrace a confident faith and seek to encourage other believers to do the same rather than respond to challenging circumstances with dread or doubt.
Christians are not to abandon their faith. Instead, We should “hold fast” to the truth in the face of pressure from persecution and terror.
This entails urging other Christians to do good things and display love instead of encouraging them to “believe.”
Colossians 3:16 -Songs Of Thanksgiving
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16 (ESV)
Christ’s word can teach us, and Christ’s word can also point out when we are mistaken. We are given instructions in the word of Christ on how to fix errors in our thinking and behavior.

The main goal of singing praise to God is to express our thanks to Him rather than concentrate on our needs or desires.

Bible Verses About Going To Different Churches
What does the Bible say about attending different churches?
Understanding the goal of church attendance and membership is essential. Christians imitate the local church when they associate with a group of fellow believers.
EPHESIANS 4:14-16
“As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.”
EPHESIANS 4:14-16(ESV)
God created Believers to live in harmony with one another. As believers mature inside the body of Christ, their faith grows and becomes more solid.

All Christians are linked to Him and each other as a component of this living organism, just as Christ is the Head of the church.
Each component plays a specific function in the church’s life and is interconnected with the others.
Believers should strive to live in a way that fosters fellowship and harmony with other believers, Christ, the Head, and all other believers.
ROMANS 12:4-5
“For just as we have many members in one body and all the bodies do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
ROMANS 12:4-5(ESV)
The church is the body of Christ with many p, arts which are the members.
Too frequently, people “church hop” to multiple local congregations to select different aspects of each One because they believe they cannot find one church that “fits their requirements” or provides them with all they should be receiving from a church.
They might go to one church for the music, one for the sermons, and one for the social events.
The issue with this way of thinking is that Christians should associate with a community of believers to contribute, not to receive.
In addition, we appear to be uncommitted to the members of any one church’s leadership, which is a poor example to others.
MATTHEW 28:19-20
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

HEBREWS 10:24-25

Because of Christ, everyone has unrestricted access to God. We, therefore, urge one another to get closer to God in light of that.

We get together and support one another in our beliefs.
If you aren’t now connected to a part of a church member church, let me encourage you to do so as soon as possible.
Then, in that church, you are connected; go there and assemble with people. Let your goal be to praise God by inspiring the members of this church every Sunday and possibly at other points throughout the week.
CONCLUSION
it is God’s will that we regularly attend church; the church reflects the body of Christ, so we are members of that body through salvation.
The church builds our faith, encourages us during trying times, celebrates with us, intercedes for us when needs arise, and helps us to grow our knowledge of God where there might be reasons we could boycott the church. Still, the Bible advises against it because it leads to insecurity, a decline in faith, and spiritual weakness.
Sometimes we attend different churches to satisfy all motives, but God has called us to fellowship with him as one body.
