Bible Question: which is biblical praying out loud prayer or silent prayer. |
Bible Answer: Hello Austin, and welcome. Both silent prayer and Congregational prayer would be correct, and Biblical. In James 5:16 we are instructed to pray with each other and for each others sins. "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." Also Jesus tells us in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." So we have clear instruction from scripture to pray together and, we can assume that means out loud. Then Luke 5:16 says- "But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray." And also Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:5-6 "When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." So, we know that both are Biblical. Just remember that prayer should be from the heart, and God knows when it's from your heart.-John |
