Bible Question:
what is the best way to pray, by saying pre made prayers, or saying whats on your mind. not knowing what "faith" i belong to, i believe in some Catholic practices but not all, of course i cannot pick and choose in what i believe but what do i do? Please Help, Confused! |
Bible Answer: Hi, mikec! I do not believe you are as confused as you think you are: a) You know that you need to get closer to God! b) You know you have to establish a direct line to Him through prayer! c) You know that the Bible is: all or none! d) You are seeking assistance in getting closer to God! James tells us (James 1:5) that we can ask God for wisdom and He will readily give it to us; he also tells us how we are to come to God: James 1:6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. We are to place our trust (Faith) in Jesus without seeking to understand all that is God... remember, he exalts the humble and He humbles the proud! Come to Jesus in simple prayer (it could be as simple as repeating Jesus' name over and over in humble worship or it could be through a few words expressing your gratitude, your fears, and your aspirations or it could be by using a prayer template--none should be of those with special formulas to bring you wealth or control over the Holy Spirit or some personal angel--that brings deeper understanding of your relationship to God); learn to trust Him and He will do the rest! God Bless! Angel |
