Bible Note: Greetings GeeVee, I can understand what you are trying to say, but if we use the example of Jesus Himself, praying the same prayers, whether praise or request is not wrong, does not shoe lack of faith, and in fact is exactly what we should do until God has revealed to us that our prayer has been answered. Mat 26:39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." Mat 26:42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done." Mat 26:44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Notice that Jesus not only prayed the same prayer again and again but He prayed it again, again, and again, and He even used the SAME WORDS! Pray without ceasing! retxar |
