1 | What about the Silent Prayer | Bible general Archive 1 | ONERICHWOMAN | 21792 | ||
I trying to explain to someone that there is no such thing as a silent prayer. Can you tell which scriptures would back up the fact that we need to verbally commmunicate with God? Even though God already know what we have need of before we even ask! | ||||||

Response................. Others on this forum may disagree, but I believe there are appropriate uses for silent prayer. I give for example Nehemiah, where he stood before the king and offered up (as I see it) a short, silent prayer before continuing. Neh 2:4-5 Then the king said to me, "What would you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven. I said to the king, "If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it." Steve |

Ok- What scriptures back up silent prayers? I am not saying really that you can't pray silently especially for those who can't speak. However, Pray mean to communicate;ask- When we ask for something we usually do it verbally.Also when we are silent we give the devil opportunity to flood our mind with all sorts of thoughts.The world has been praying silently for too long that is why we are in the situation now in the world. | ||||||

I think that the reason we are in this situation is because we have not been praying at all. Proverbs 24:12 says that God can read our mind and knows our thoughts. I agree we usually ask for things verbally because other people can not read our mind - but our Father can. He knows our thoughts before we do. Some people can not stay focused in prayer, that would be a good reason for praying out loud but you don't have to pray out loud for your prayers to be heard. prayon | ||||||
