Bible Question (short): Question concerning prayer. |
Question (full): A question concerning my relationship to God. The Bible says to pray without ceasing. I personally have always felt uncomfortable praying, but yet at the same time,I feel like I have a very close relationship with God. The only way I can describe it is that I have an open heart to God. In my mind and heart I can talk to Him at any time. To pray seems silly when He is right there with me anyway. Is it wrong to feel this way? Sometimes I do formally pray, but it doesn't feel right. It's like having someone in the room with you, but instead of talking to them, you bow your head and pray to them. So, my question is this. Do you think the statement about praying without ceasing was another way to say to never stop praying? Or in other words, never end your prayer or your open connnection with God? Do you think God wants a formal standoffish relationship with us where we treat Him formally? Just curious what other think. |
