1 | Question concerning prayer. | Bible general Archive 1 | chynna | 32391 | ||
A question concerning my relationship to God. The Bible says to pray without ceasing. I personally have always felt uncomfortable praying, but yet at the same time,I feel like I have a very close relationship with God. The only way I can describe it is that I have an open heart to God. In my mind and heart I can talk to Him at any time. To pray seems silly when He is right there with me anyway. Is it wrong to feel this way? Sometimes I do formally pray, but it doesn't feel right. It's like having someone in the room with you, but instead of talking to them, you bow your head and pray to them. So, my question is this. Do you think the statement about praying without ceasing was another way to say to never stop praying? Or in other words, never end your prayer or your open connnection with God? Do you think God wants a formal standoffish relationship with us where we treat Him formally? Just curious what other think. | ||||||

Chynna: Good question. I make no attempt here to give you a full answer. But perhaps I can get you to thinking. It is not that God desires formal prayer. What he desires is for you to have a time and place each day to give him your undivided attention. A time and place where after you talk, you then wait in his presence and listen. How do you define "prayer"? There is more to it than just asking for things. Grace to you, kalos |
