1 | is it ok to pray publically? | John 11:42 | JennAnn | 139036 | ||
a group of friends and I pray after school every day in the middle of the school quad. other christians questioned this, saying how we are told to pray in a closet and shut the door as it says in Matthew 6:5-7 But we are not praying out there to show off or for ourselves, we just feel it (symbolically) more as we pray at the heart of the school for the school and for the students. But what about Daniel? didn't he pray with the windows open to toward Jerusalem? i mean, why should we confine ourselves inside when we are unashamed to be with God? | ||||||

The important thing in prayer is that you really believe that Jehovah is listening. Do you believe that Jehovah hears you? It is also important that you mean what you say to God. Do you really mean what you say in your prayers? What should you say in your prayers to Jehovah? Tell me: When you pray, what do you talk to God about? Jehovah gives us so many good things, and it is right to thank him for them, isn’t it? We thank him for the food we eat. But have you ever thanked him for the blue sky, the green trees and the pretty flowers? He made those too. He also made dogs that wag their tails, kittens that purr and beautiful birds that sing. There are so many things to thank him for! Jesus’ disciples once asked him to teach them how to pray. And the Great Teacher showed them what were the most important things to pray for. Do you know what these things are? Get your copy of the Bible and open it to Matthew chapter 6. In verses 9 through 13 we find what many persons call “the Lord’s prayer.” So we should believe that Jehovah hears our prayers and we should keep on asking him. Then God will answer our prayers. Jehovah likes to hear us pray to him. He is happy when we mean what we say in prayer and when we ask him for the right things. And he will give us these things. Do you believe that?

deafawake, Please do not use this Forum as a recruiting vehicle for the Watchtower! I would recommend that you read the posting guidelines and terms of use- if you want to continue. The Watchtower is diametrically opposed to the Lockman Foundations doctrinal statement! I pray that you believe this. BradK |
