Bible Question (short): Is praying required before every meal? |
Question (full): Are Christ followers supposed to pray out loud before EVERY meal? It seems like a ritual to me rather than a heart felt prayer and I remember reading a scripture somewhere in the new testament that we ought not to pray out loud in public such as the pharisees but rather in private. I know of Bible examples of praying before eating but should we make it a required rule? Isn't that being legalistic? Thanks, Chusarcik |
