Is prayer really about changing ourselves or is it just a way to cope with the uncertainty and chaos of life?

@carlswindelliv2701 Год назад

Christ commanded us to pray in the bible so I highly doubt it is merely a coping mechanism

@jasonleveck8546 Год назад

It is both. When we submit ourselves before the Almighty, it should be to give thanks and praise. It is also a time when we ask forgiveness and for God to help us become improved and a better version of ourselves, which only he can make manifest, when our hearts are in alignment. Chaos is the opposite of God and his natural order. Back to the days of Enoch, the 7th from Adam, God's order was thrown into chaos. The Watchers descended upon Mt. Hermon and decided they would take wives from the daughters of man. This unnatural union resulted in the nephilim or giants and ultimately the reasons for the cause of God's judgement with the flood. Huge narrative and story that doesn't end until Christs crucifixion and resurrection.

I was in a job that had a very toxic working environment a year ago. l prayed to God and told him how unhappy l was and that l was scared to look for another job because l didn't have the motivation to search for another job. I then asked God what he wanted me to do about my working situation. God took me on a 7 month journey and helped me to find another job in a really healthy working environment. l am so thankful and happy that he lead me from a miserable and toxic job to a job where l am happy and look forward to coming to work.

I got a job yesterday that is 10K more than my last job and is less stressful. I went for the interview being 3 months out of work due to health issues. The chances of me getting it was slim, next to nothing. I’m under qualified (luckily they offer 8 weeks training) but I was honest and gave my interview absolutely everything. I poured my emotions into my prayer that morning, I left my religion and only came back a week ago. I’m prayed that my nerves settled or that they’d make me stronger. I asked that whatever is planned for me will pay off and that if it is the right path I’ll get it. No word of a lie my subconscious was talking to me and usually that’s just one voice, our own, but I heard another voice at the same time that just said in my heart, “I will deliver.” I felt nothing but a chill through my body and I ended up going to the interview, scoring high in both the assessment we had to have before and smashed the interview.

@WiggleJimmy Месяц назад

God doesn't believe that the worst thing that can happen to a person is they die. We all die. Even the people Jesus rose from the dead all eventually died again. Jesus raised Lazarus but Lazarus died once more. God loves us, and is far more intelligent than any of us. What He does we can't understand, we must simply keep following Him to the best of our ability and keep our faith. God loves your wife, He loved her from the day she was born and far before she was ever born. He knows your wife's name, He knows your name. Keep the faith, stay in Christ, and once we have suffered a bit, He will come to set things right. He is coming back for us, but don't give up on Him, He never gives up on you.

@OompaLoompa74 Месяц назад

Agreed, I think that this is a struggle for so many Christians. I myself continue to grapple with the idea of "Why suffering?" & "Why even bother?" at times. Some might argue that the answer lies in the book of Job for suffering. (Which is basically the idea that we are not God, so we do not know why we suffer). Still, it often times feels unsatisfactory and difficult to deal with.

@WiggleJimmy Месяц назад

@@OompaLoompa74 We need to change the way we view the world. Our perceptions of good and evil are so warped. Anyone who wants to save their life will lose it, but anyone who gives their life for Christ will find it. If you pray to God, and genuinely believe He has the power to heal you if He wants, then He would heal you. But if He doesn't heal you, it means He has plans for you that go beyond your immediate healing. It is a difficult task, but remember that through belief in Christ we can and will accomplish the impossible. Keep the faith, those who seek their reward and this life forsake the next, and those who forsake their reward in this life find it in the next. Christ be will all of you who read this and are struggling. Our Master will not abandon us. Amen.

Ben's "gumball machine prayers" analogy is spot on for how many people see prayer today. One of the biggest mistakes people make in praying, is that they pray for what they believe they want or need, when in reality it's what God wants or needs for us. God knows us better than we know ourselves. The other thing is, in today's world we expect God to be like this fast food drive-through employee, granting our prayers almost immediately, when in fact it could be weeks, months or even years for prayers to be granted. God works at His pace, which is always perfect and He knows best. You just need to put your trust in God, and let Him do the work.

God said in Quran : "And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.(2:186) "Your Lord says, ‘Call on Me and I will answer you; those who are too proud to serve Me will enter Hell humiliated.’ It is God who has given you the night in which to rest and the day in which to see. God is truly bountiful to people, but most people do not give thanks. Such is God your Lord, the Creator of all things: there is no god but Him. How can you be so deluded? It is God who has given you the earth for a dwelling place and the heavens for a canopy. He shaped you, formed you well, and provided you with good things. Such is God your Lord, so glory be to Him, the Lord of the Worlds. (40:60)

This actually comforted me by a ton. I had just started to become Christian again after being non-religious (not atheist because I still believed in a higher power) for most of my life. So when getting into the habit of praying, I have always been worried whether or not God heard my prayers and thinking about it really hurt me. So watching this gave me a lot of peace and reassurance. Thank you for coming out with this video ❤ Also wow I didn’t expect to see so many atheists in this comment section haha

@beyondexceptionalofficial Год назад

I'm glad that watching this video brought you peace and reassurance in your faith. It's understandable to have doubts about whether God hears our prayers, but it's important to remember that God's love and attention is always with us, even if we don't feel it or see it in the moment. And it's great to see that people of different beliefs and backgrounds can come together and find value in Dr. Peterson's teachings.

@seldelaterre2786 Год назад

My brother, keep your eyes on the Truth, which is manifested in Christ. That Truth is that the Love of God was poured upon us through Christ when we did not deserve God's ears but rather God's wrath. Because of the grace we received then, remember at all times to find comfort in the fact that he hears you and cares for everything about you. That is not from me, but from the scriptures in which you can find the promises of God. Read them ceaselessly and know the comfort that awaits you in them : Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. I encourage you to read again the Gospels and put before God every concerns including what's about Him directly.

After my girlfriend broke up with me on top of my grandpa having a major surgery, losing my job, and my wallet all within a 2-3 week period, I was torn apart. The only choice I could make was either go to church, or try to deal with it all on my own like that was gonna fix anything. I relented my control over circumstance and went to church genuinely in a place of mental anguish. I said the rosary a few times and I prayed asking God to help me get through this mental trauma or at least allow my eyes to be opened past it so that I don’t fall into the the loathsome pit of depression. After the mass we went to the hospital room where my grandpa was recovering and I was just feeling bad surfing youtube. Suddenly in my mind out of nowhere, like a real eureka moment, I received clarity of mind. I honestly don’t know how or why it happened. It made no sense other than God or the blessed mother heard my prayers and had mercy on my soul, because that feeling was so relieving, the closest I can describe is like being lost in a dark hallway just walking straight for what seems like eternity asking why keep walking, and suddenly you see a door open in your view so bright as you walk out and can see the world again. I’m still not 100% over the breakup, but that’s to be expected. I did receive some grace or peace of the mind much earlier than most people get being that I got it 3 days after. My grandpa is doing great after surgery, he just needs to exercise now. I believe God said to me, look at all these things you’ve achieved on your own and what you’ve done with them without me. How much are you willing to stay alone without me in your life? Clearly nothing here on earth matters without God because he’s the only one that granted me peace mentally when people broke my heart, stole from me, fired me, and disease threatened family.

From one who knows: Prayer is most often misunderstood to be a way to ask for things. But to ask for things is to demonstrate a lack of faith; "for the Lord knows what you need before you ask." And The Lord's Prayer was improperly translated, because the Aramaic language Jesus spoke had no provision for tense. The Lord's Prayer has been wrongly translated into an ambiguous and future tense prayer of supplication, when it is in fact a PRESENT TENSE prayer of AFFIRMATION. "Our Father which is in Heaven, hallowed is Your name. Your Kingdom is come, Your will is done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. You give us this day our daily bread and You forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. You lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen." You ALWAYS get exactly what you NEED, which may or not be what you want. ALWAYS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. No need to ask. And if you want to improve your situation, the only way this can be done is by changing your DESIRES and BELIEFS to align with the example of Jesus Christ. GOD's prophet, the prophesied return of Elijah, testifies.

For me, prayer is asking for guidance, and meditation is listening for the answer. The answer comes from within, because God is not some being we pray to who libes in the clouds...God IS LOVE, and He is IN us, He IS us. So when we learn to truat our inner guidance and intuition, we are essentially in holy union with the Divine. Sometimes what we *think* we want is coming from an ego standpoint, and is not what we truly *need*. Prayer and meditation is a great way to habe those real, intimate conversations with God and learn to trust and have faith in the divine process & timing.

It has been written that our prayers are like the smoke of an incense censor that rises to Him in the throne room. He hears each one. Cherishes each one. One prayer in particular He responded to and He said not until the full number has been reached. Wait a little while longer. This response is similar to other responses He gave in the past as we have heard and some have seen. He always acts in the fullness of His time. Time was created by Him and is His. I always strive to remember these truths as I stroll through life.

A mentor of mine agreed to sell me a small business he owned so I started working there and when the day came to sign the paperwork, he backed out. I had just gotten engaged and didn’t have anywhere else to work and he owed me a lot of money. I begged the Lord for this sale to go through so I could have the means to start a family and the answer was no. I was devastated and at a very low point in my life. Why couldn’t God just let me have this. A while later I found a similar business that was struggling so it was cheap enough for me to max out of credit and buy it and that was the foundation for what’s now an 8 figure business. After so many “no’s” to requests for things I thought I needed desperately at the time, it took me many years to figure out that God was protecting me from my own self. Had He given me what I prayed so hard for over the years, I would be in a devastating place right now. All praise be to God

It's essential to do 2 things in prayer: 1: ask for God's will to be done, and the evil one's will to be cancelled in Jesus' name. It's important to ask for things only if it is God's will, otherwise you may enter contracts unknowingly with the evil one. 2. You should practice gratitude, to give thanks and praise for everything you have. Everyday I'm thankful for the roof over my family's head, the food and water on our tables, the beds and safe space for us to sleep in. Gratitude is as important as breathing.

Well yes and no. The reason it’s being portrayed as complicated in this video is because people have forgotten what real prayer looks like and what it means to truly pray (thanks for that post modernists and existentialism 😑😒) There is a wrong way to pray according to the Bible (Pharisee and the tax collector, out in the streets for glory, double mindedness, etc). But Real prayer is simple, just forgotten and honestly hard to do sometimes. It’s an attitude and act of dependency and humility before God. When you are truly seeking God’s face, you’re demonstrating to Him outright that you need Him and need Him to change you. It’s a huge step of humility before God because you’re acknowledging who He is and His authority in your life, and that you truly can’t do it on your own. Granted I don’t fully understand prayer myself, but from what I can observe in the Bible and the prophets, it’s certainly got much to do with that.

It's about becoming the person who deserves a different response. Additionally, he discusses the idea that our understanding of God progresses through our actions and decisions, not through God changing his personality. So, while it may seem like God is ignoring our prayers, it could be that we have yet to become the person who deserves a different response. Does this make sense to you?

@ishitrealbad3039 Год назад

"it's not about changing god's mind but ourselves" I don't know, i've never heard a prayer from someone asking God specificaly to change. Most prayers I hear are (specifically in this order); Materialistic (plis gib X) Emotional help Advise (what should i do, gib sign plis) Repentance (forgiveness of sin) It seems to me that this is especially true for denominations outside of Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Where as the previous denominations view that the center of Christendom to be Theosis, this is thus also how they structure their prayers (mostly in repentance and strength/health). Denominations outside of this view Christendom as an emotional relationship with God, so the pray a lot about materialism, help and advise. Now when it comes to God answering yes or no, is quite simple. God is not a babysitter, he doesn't magically make our lives easier as we have to achieve Theosis. Which we achieve through going through struggle succesfully. If you ask for help, God will give you difficulties to make you stronger If you ask for wisdom, God will give you problems to solve However, i don't belief God answers prayers based upon materialism as materialistic thing we don't need. He would probably prefer if everyone followed a monastic or ascetic lifestyle; A way of life that truely achieves Theosis. TLDR: God doesn't answer materialistic prayers You should pray for repentance, strength, help and protection; Which he will answer in a way as if it's a challenge, which will help you and challenge you. He's not going to babysit you.
