The Individual prayer

—

Prayer when it is individual، i.e. by one person praying to God should not be read from a book, nor should be prayed by memorized texts, but it is a talk from Man to God, i.e. from a son to his Father, & could be concluded by the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father who art in the heavens, hallowed be thy name”, not as a recitation of a text, but by contemplating its meanings, and a promise by the one who prays to implement what is in it.

—

And when one prays, if one says anything more than what is needed, this is what Jesus asked us not to do:

And ye going to pray, do not make a multitude of words as the Gentiles. For they think that they will be heard in their multitude of words.
Matthew 6: 7

مسيحيتي (٥)

— 

الصلاة.الفردية

الصلاة حين تكون فردية – أي من شخص واحد يصلي إلى الله – لا ينبغي أن تقرأ من كتاب ولا أن تكون بنصوص محفوظة وإنما هي حديث من الإنسان يخاطب الله أي انها من إبن  يخاطب أباه وتختتم بالصلاة الربانية: ” أبانا الذي في السموات” ليس كتلاوة نص وإنما بتأمل لمعانيها ووعد من الذي يصلي بتنفيذ ما فيها.

وفي الصلاة:
إن قلت أكتر من احتياجي أكون أكرر الكلام باطلا:
وَحِينَمَا تُصَلُّونَ لاَ تُكَرِّرُوا الْكَلاَمَ بَاطِلاً كَالأُمَمِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُ بِكَثْرَةِ كَلاَمِهِمْ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ:

إنجيل متى: ٦: ٧.
