Its no longer news that some people/churches believe in saying their prayers cool, calm and gently while some shout and even scream while praying "talking" to God.
Looking at the nature of God himself whom we all know is forever cool, calm and peaceful{also not deaf} i don,t think we need to shout nor scream before he hears/answers our prayers that is my own opinion anyway, what is your own stake on this issue?where do you belong?

abeg tell them

*there is series dimensions of prayers but how one prays comes 4rm wat d person believe.¤¤my church believe dat evry christian shud always have effective communication wit d holy spirit[color=#000099][/color]

i think noisy prayers are a sign of desperation, that peoples wishes and aspirations are not being answered.

What you sow is what you'll reap.

[b]Preach it bro!!

5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7[b][size=16pt]And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words[/size][/b]. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

God knows even before you ask apparently. They could have fooled me, from the way they go on I'd have thought not only doesn't he know, but he's kinda hard of hearing too.

God lost his hearing during WWI and WWII. . . .its only rational that we shout to get his attention.

@ Tudor,
Thats why u need your local made Camera + Phone TO GET HIS ATTENTION, abi se i no talk am welli-welli,

@ Topic I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with shouting when praying. The bible suggests that Jesus prayed with "strong crying" (Heb. 5:7).
I think it becomes wrong when a christian believes that that is the only way God hears and answers. The bible does make any rules as to how to pray, in terms of posture, location, time, etc.

It is important to distinguish between biblical injunctions and biblical patterns. For example, Jesus had 12 primary disciples (pattern), and that does not mean that every church leader must have 12 assistants. However, if they so chose, it is not wrong. Jesus' strong crying is a pattern, not an injunction.

Wilfem mentioned that the kingdom of God suffers and the violent take it by force. However, the bible makes us understand that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. When we begin to emphasize on physical 'techniques' to fight the devil, we lose the focus of prayer.

Is God not supposed to be closer to us than our skin?If an entity is that close, then it is obvious that shouting your requests is superfluous exageration.

Peaceful Prayers are better
I hate loud mofos screaming everywhere
All in the name of prayers.
