Hello Ladies,
I was raised as a Jehovah Witness and am now a Christian. I pray every night and sometimes during the day. I pray for good times and bad. I pray to talk to my Lord.
I my sister told me that the Lord was not going to answer my prayers and that he did not hear me because:
1) I did not call him Jehovah the way I should address him
2) I began with the Lord's prayers as it is written in the bible I thank the Lord for his son Jesus Christ whom has died for our sins, I THANKED the Lord for the home he provided me, the food he provided me, for my childrens health, for the clothes he provided me, for my spouse being a good father and decent man, that I thank him for everything, for times that are good and bad, for the business he enalbed me to have, for my family. That I thank him for all that he has blessed me with because I will never take for granted the things that I have. I know that he has enabled me to have these things just as he may take them away. And I will still me thankful if I had a roof over my head (whether it was in a shelter) the clothes on my back (whether it was the only pair I had) and the food that I ate, (whether it be bread and water) She stated that these things should not be mentioned when praying.
she also said that it was self righteous if I prayed for a long time.
I am really disheartened as it sounds as if she was stating what I had been doing all these years was wrong.
Then she stated how do I know if it is not Satan who has given you these things. I stated because I am not walking his path. That I live for the Lord. My life is not my own and I give my all to him.
Ladies is this wrong.
