Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1 Thess 5:17 ... Chusarcik, greetings, It is not legalistic to pray. I do not ever seeing there was a command to pray. We are to be in a season of prayer, always. I know a family that prays before and after each meal. Since they are together, it is aloud. But, it doesn't heve to be. Why not pray, Searcher |
