Xtians, Why Do We Shout At God??? by jhydebaba(m): 7:48am On Aug 11, 2013
As followers of christ, we are expected to follow Jesus' teachings. I noticed that most xtians shout to be heard by God which is against Christ's teachings.

Extract from matt 6: 5 - 6
5 "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.



Secondly, do we need to repeat words before God can answer us These days you see christians praying like this for example:
"father, do it for me, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it...

Extract from matt 6: 7-8

7 "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.


Finally, Jesus taught us how to pray but the way we pray is far different from it. Are we deviating from Christ teachings or it is no longer relevant because most Christians just say this prayer (the Lord's prayer) after praying their own way?

Extract from matt 6: 9 - 15

9 Pray then like this:
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.




Pastors in the house, ur opinions are highly welcomed.
