Why is true prayer about more than just words?
-
It’s about having a intimate relationship with GOD. Spending time with GOD.
-
When we are praying, we are talking with God and worshiping Him. It is like a private conversation from the heart. Jesus has already atoned for our sins once and for all (Hebrews 10:10), and we can approach the throne of grace boldly on the merit of Christ’s sacrifice (Hebrews 4:15–16), not because of our “many words” (Matthew 6:7).
-
I think that God wants us to communicate honestly and openly with him. In order to do that we cannot just use words – we really need to build a connection with him.
-
Anyone can read mere words and not be sincere. The Lord wants more from us than words!
-
When we interact with people, words are not the whole story. There are facial expressions, tone, and body language that can take a phrase like “I love you” and turn it into something that is close to the opposite. I think the same is true with God. What we say is not as important as how we say it- the words are overshadowed by the tone of our heart and our mind.
