What makes my way better than anyone elses? Why should there be a right way to pray? There shouldn't. God listens to everyobe and I believe God listens to the poor and homeless way before he listens to me. So because they may not be very educated and may not follow the so called rules of prayer, does that cancel out their prayer? I don't think so. We should not be tested and quizzed on the right ways to prayer as there is no right way. Prayer comes from the heart, it doesn't have to be well thought out, wordy and insightful, as long as it's earnest and passionate. That's my one rule, prayer should be passionate, heartfelt, you should be able to feel your prayer moving throughout your body, and really want God to hear you. But apparently if your prayer doesn't begin with "Oh God" or some other address to God, He'll ignore you cause you didn't say His name. I agree there is a wrong way to pray. You shouldn't go through the motions cause its te right thing to do. If you're not feeling it, God may not be feeling you. That's the only rule. Not all that other crap being forced down my throat by a dellusional priest. God doesn't care about how you pray just as long as you say hello to Him once in a while.
Janis Joplin's prayer seems more effective than the stuff we do in class, and that's not saying much. Oh Lord, Won't ya buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porshes I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime no help from my friends. So oh Lord, wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz? Oh lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ? I’m counting on you, lord, please don’t let me down. Prove that you love me and buy the next round, Oh lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
