What Is Prayer? by Nobody: 3:15pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
Good day everyone. Prayer is something many people don't really understand. Either what it is or how it is done. I created this thread for us to learn from ourselves the concept of prayer. Let anyone ask any question pertaining to prayer and let other scholars here attempt them. It is going to be more like a question and answer thread. That being said, lets get it started. I would like to see the answers to this from other people's perspective....... What is prayer? When should one pray? Does God answer every prayer? Does speaking in tongues mean your holier or more serious than those dont? Lets from the scholars. Feel free to answer questions asked and also ask yours. We all could learn from ourselves |

Prayer is the delegation of responsibility for oneself to an entity one has made superior to oneself. With delegation of responsibility comes a corresponding loss of insight into ones condition. The loss of insight increases the confusion and lack of faith in oneself, and the tendency to look for something superior to oneself, and beyond oneself, to which to delegate responsibility for oneself. It is a self-feeding spiral. |

In a few words. A complete waste of time. I could expatiate if you want me to. |

sinequanon:This grammer is too big: Prayer means talking to God to thank him or to ask him for something. Simple. |

What is prayer?A means of talking to yourself. When should one pray?Whenever you are in trouble or helpless to someone just start talking to yourself and imagine a sky daddy is listening to you. It would give you a form of assurance and comforts. Does speaking in tongues mean your holier or more serious than those dont?None. It only means you are dumb. "When I was young I used to pray for a bike. Then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness." — Emo Philips.

Eve4eva: Life is about improving yourself so that things are not "too big" for you. Otherwise, you will turn to prayer. Is that simpler grammer (sic.), for you? 1 Like |

Prayer is wishful thinking mostly for what people do not deserve. Prayer is a wishful cheat code for the lazy minds. Prayer exists in the dictionary of the weak minded who have no personal discipline What happens when a fat guy prays to be slim. Hit the gym or die fat. God is a lie |
