1 | If I repeat it, would Jesus hear me? | Matt 6:16 | humility | 215954 | ||
Dear Shalom, You don't believe that my prayers should be limited simply to the Lord's prayer. You gave me scripture references showing that that was not the only prayer that Jesus sent up to His father. (Matt 26; John 17) But I'm still trying to understand why is it wrong to limit my prayers to what He taught in Matt 6? Do you agree that it shows immaturity on behalf of the disciple? |

Dear Humility, You may call me Azure. "Shalom" is a Hebrew greeting word meaning "peace be with you" (but it bears richer and deeper meaning). You say : You don't believe that my prayers should be limited simply to the Lord's prayer. I am sorry, I don't quite get your point. Could you please elaborate? Whether I "believe" you or not is not an issue here especially things about your prayer. I will not say it wrong to limit your prayers to what Jesus taught in Matt 6 if you earnestly, lovingly and truly pray with all your heart and is led by the Holy Spirit to do so (instead of reciting it as a recording machine). As I have said, you may also need to explain to your fellows why you like to stick to the Lord's Prayer in a loving way. We have to edify each other. I cannot say if it shows immaturity of the disciple. On one hand, we may consider them immature as we see they followed Jesus in person 3 years and still not sure who He is. However, the Lord's prayer appeared in Matt 6 and Luke 11 respectively under different context. In Matt 6, the Lord's prayer was mentioned in Jesus' discourse on the mountain starting from Chapter 5 and in direct reference to v5:8 in Chapter 6, whereas in Luke 11, Jesus' disciple asked Him to teach them to pray because they knew John the Baptist also taught his own discples to pray. I am sorry that I appear not answering your question, however, I believe Jesus is not limiting us to pray the Lord's prayer. See how He commended the praying of the tax collector in Luke 18:14. Shalom Azure |
