Praying in Ethiopian Church Edmonton is much more than reciting formulas, repeating words, and singing litanies. When Jesus withdrew to solitary places to pray, the disciples wanted to understand what he was doing, to learn from him without disturbing him, without disturbing his solitude.
Prayer has its own poetics, a beauty all its own, and only by understanding them can you begin to pray in the correct way, turning to God in order to be heard and to find at this moment an experience that enriches you and allows you to face every day the right way. Here are the four rules you should try to follow when in Ethiopia Amharic Church.
Praying is also Silence.
Those who recite only with words concerned only with the number of prayers they have to recite, what they have to say, and how to say it make prayer a duty, a moment of boredom, imposition, and monotony. Those who pray with heart and spirit don’t even need words. His prayer is often made of silence, a silence that excludes the noise of the world, which leaves out the clamor of the crowd, the noise of thoughts, and allows access to a private and secret dialogue, a precious and invaluable face-to-face with God, and only with Him, who doesn’t even need words to be consumed. Be ready to go to Gospel Ethiopian Church Edmonton today and experience talking to god in silence.
Praying is not imagining God. It is communicating with him.
When you pray in Gospel Chapel Ethiopia Church Edmonton, you must stay focused on God, not picture him or fantasize about him. Dialogue with God does not require you to imagine having him in front of you, giving him a face, a semblance. It’s something to feel deep inside, an experience that requires serenity, calm, and concentration to feel his presence, to keep an otherwise ephemeral contact alive. You must give him your utmost attention and listen entirely, with a pure soul and a mind free from any thought.
Praying is listening to God.
Again, praying requires total and unconditional listening to God, His word, and His will. When you pray, you are not the protagonist of what is happening: it is always and only God. You place yourselves in wait for God, listening to grasp what He has to say to us, to understand what He expects from us. You can turn to him for advice, to vent your suffering, to seek answers to your fears, but he will answer you only when you are willing to listen to him when you have placed yourselves in a condition of humility waiting for his word.
When you love someone, you try to do everything in your power to please them, to make them happy. This is what you have to keep in mind also when with God. When you pray to him, you can ask him requests and questions and vent doubts, anger, and pain, but in the end, you only have to entrust yourselves to his will and do what he asks of you without delay.
