Bible Question (short): is it ok to pray publically? |
Question (full): a group of friends and I pray after school every day in the middle of the school quad. other christians questioned this, saying how we are told to pray in a closet and shut the door as it says in Matthew 6:5-7 But we are not praying out there to show off or for ourselves, we just feel it (symbolically) more as we pray at the heart of the school for the school and for the students. But what about Daniel? didn't he pray with the windows open to toward Jerusalem? i mean, why should we confine ourselves inside when we are unashamed to be with God? |
