When it comes to prayer, what matters most is the sincerity of your heart, not the language you use. God understands every language, even the unspoken groanings of the heart (Romans 8:26).

Praying in local dialect

Feels more personal and natural if it’s your first language. Helps you express deep emotions and cultural expressions that may not translate well into English. Many people connect more spiritually when praying in the language they think and feel in.

Praying in English

Useful when you’re in a mixed group where people may not understand your dialect. Helps in teaching, leading, or uniting people in prayer. Can make your prayer accessible to more listeners.

So my smart Nairalanders, which one is the best

Pidgin English is better and sweater. More pleasant to listen to.

Speaking in an unknown tongues feel better oooo.

None is the best. They beat is a prayer from a broken and contrite heart. Read ur bible

Psalms 51:17
The way to please you is to be truly sorry (about of sins and evil ways) deep in our hearts. This is the kind of sacrifice you won't refuse.

It depends on the situation/condition.

I naturally have preference praying in my native dialect.

I am so used to praying in English this day to the extent it is becoming hard to flow praying in my language.

Not praying at all is what I prefer. But if I will pray at all, then it must be in tongue. When I was a Christian, I prayed all day for tongue, but didn't get it while prostitutes , Yahoo Boys and so on readily got it. Then immediately I left religion, I got the gift of speaking in tongue and I like the package so much. It even fast tracked the long boring periods of prayers. I go with my tongues anywhere now. Regede bosh, ta ta ta ra ta prakash. Receive!!!

What about those god wey dey only understand Arabic?

It depends on the situation.

My situation no dey understand English language but our own local dialect 😀

I prefer praying in my local dialect because there are something in English language that won't go well the way I want it

You will get to a stage where you do not need words to commume with God. Just silence so you can also here from him. Remember communication is a two-way-street. If all you do is utter words without hearing, you never even start

I have a mastery of the English language most people don't have, even of their native dialects. So it's English for me.

I meditate in the Queen's English but I fluently speak at least three Nigerian languages.
