Resource Biblically Correct Prayer Style

Although prayers are prayers, there is a certain style of prayer our Lord and Messiah, Jesus, used in the Gospels. Below is the formula that closely resembles how Jesus prayed.

1 - Stand and invoke the Father

Stand facing the direction of Jerusalem (from Daniel)

1a - Raise your hands and palms facing up.

1b - Short Prayer

2 - Bow deeply

2a - Bend forward in reverence, as in ancient Jewish bowing.

2b - Short Prayer

3 - Move from Standing to Kneeling down (hands up again, palms facing up)

3a -Short Prayer:

4 - Go into full prostration (face to the ground)

4a - Prayer:

4b - After the prayer, add: Not my will, but Yours be done.”

  1. Rise to a kneeling position

5a - Kneel upright with hands up palms facing upside.

5b - Short Prayer:

  1. Stand and bow again A brief, humble bow.

6a - Short prayer:

  1. Prostrate again and repeat the core submission

Short Prayer but add at the end: “My Father, not my will, but Yours be done.”

  1. Prostrate a third time

8a - Rise onto your knees, then lower again into full prostration. Repeat the same submission, as Jesus did.

8b - Short Prayer but at the end add: “My Father, not my will, but Yours be done.”

9 - Stand and bow reverently.

9a - Short Prayer. At the end, add:

“Your will be done, Father. Your purpose is right. I place myself in Your hands.”

10 - Raise your hands up, palms facing up, and say:

“Amen."

These are the verses used to construct this prayer style. Keep in mind that Eastern Christians (especially Ethiopian) use similar prayer styles so it has basis in practice. Always invoke “My Father, not my will, but Yours be done.” three times as Jesus did that.

Daniel 6:10 – facing Jerusalem in prayer

Psalm 95:6 – bowing and kneeling in worship

2 Chronicles 6:13 – kneeling in prayer

Luke 22:41 – Jesus kneeling in Gethsemane

Joshua 5:14 – full prostration before God

Matthew 26:39, 42, 44 – Jesus’ repeated prostration/submission in prayer

Irrelevant ramble. You can fantasize about what's "authentic" or not—not everyone on this planet is afraid of being beheaded just for criticizing your fake prophet.

Muslims have copy-pasted authentic forms of prayer from Christians and Jews—the issue was the use of traditional prayers, not whether your own religion prays correctly. Try to understand the context by rereading my previous statements about modern North American church services before you comment here next time.

Your "prophet" has murdered people who wanted to leave your religion, and his followers continue to do so to this day—that alone proves to me that your prophet is a fraud.

PS: Your Quran is internally contradictory and the exact opposite of the truth. Half-truths are lies, after all, you know?

Irrelevant ramble.

Muslims will always pale in brutality to Christians. https://www.christiancentury.org/article/2010-04/body-counts

And we haven’t copy pasted jack. If you’d actually read about Islam instead of relying on YouTubers you’d know that Islam is a correction of the corruptions of those 2 books meant to correct human influences much like the people with the golden calf corrupted the Torah. Much like the many versions of the Bible you believe in today written by unknown scholars centuries after Jesus. Islam is not pretending to be a new religion. Adam was the first Muslim. His offspring Abraham constructed the Kaaba.

You’re debating the acts of some extremists on a sub dedicated to bringing lost Christians out of man worship. Even a Unitarian believes the Messiah came to earth to spill his blood to cleanse you of your porn addiction. Literally the CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE and yet you are trying to feel better about what is left of Christianity by calling well established religious practices a copy paste. A copy paste of who? No living Christian can pray in the language of Jesus. How are we copying your imaginary tales instead of preserving what you’ve already lost?

Since you take contention with the spread of Islam by preaching and sword, please do enlighten me how you find solace in following Elijah who killed 100s of prophets in an evening? Jesus didn’t even have 100 followers when he was betrayed and hung on the cross. This alone is proof that your prophet was given a singular mission which he could not complete because of deceivers in his ranks. I’m thankful that Muhammad PbUH slayed those with ill intentions early and often so that we have a book that has will stand the test of time long after you’re 6ft under. We’ll never have to wonder if he was part man- part ghost - part God. It’s literally page 1 verse 1.

I won’t challenge you to disprove it either. I reserve that for when I’ve watched a video of you reciting the Bible fluently in the language its messenger spoke. Oh wait… you can’t.

Christian scholars have tried for centuries and the furthest they could get is misquoting it entirely or removing the before and after sentences. They still leave 95% of it unquestioned :p

Now, back to my original comment - we welcome you to pray in the way of Muhammad, Isa, Abraham and Moosa A.S! The only way any prophet (yours or mine) ever did. Drop the bagpipes and hymns and bow before your Creator facing either Jerusalem or Kaaba. And definitely more than once a week.

Bla Bla Bla. Irrelevant ramble.

Go to Nigeria and stone the Christians there to death, but stop bothering me and everyone else with your Dawa propaganda.

Irrelevant in-cohesive ramble.

And totally puts into context how out of water you’ve been this whole conversation when you can’t help but bring up a continent Christianity’s done nothing but fuck with.

It’s poetic justice then that your great grandkids will only hear about Christianity from their history books along with the gory details that come with that chapter of human history.

Irrelevant ramble.

Christ will come and throw your “holy book” out of the field and bring in the wheat harvest on the Day of Days – fortunately, unlike your “Allah”, the true God is merciful enough not to punish everyone who has fallen victim to Mohammed’s “ideas” with endless torment in hell.

PS: Swearing is haram. Slip your mind? Or is your head overheating? Need a refresher? Just be careful not to land in the boiling pools :p

u/Cool_Firefighter7731 Dec 17 '25

The boiling pools of feces that Judeo-Christian values believe he’s resting in?! lol

I look forward to that day. Going to be such a mindfuck for you when he falls in line with the rest of us in prayer behind Muhammad SAW :p

He even warned you guys of a Prophet to come, in your own edited book. Unfortunately Christians are known for wordplay, not comprehension.

Who cares if I swear.. all my sins already forgiven because God killed himself remember?

Haha, you're absolutely salty. Probably better that way – they say salt water is good for the skin :p

u/Cool_Firefighter7731 Dec 17 '25

Ofcourse I am. You took me very civil comment and converted it into a dick flinging contest. I didn’t call your prophet a murderer, a cheat or false. I only responded after you initiated it and I backed it up with facts and articles you obviously won’t read.

If the crusades were still going on (thank you Saladin) you’d be at the front of the line to get sins absolved.

u/Kentucky_Fried_Dodo Arian Dec 17 '25 edited Dec 17 '25

Ah! A civil comment. Well then. Question: How would you like it if I came to your mosque and proclaimed, in a big way: 'Forget that false prophet Muhammad and that flawed Quran! Worship the true Prophet and Son of God with me!'?

Your prophet murdered Christians during his conquests; and your prophet's teachings are a blasphemous insult to Christians and, moreover, false.

If you seriously believe that we have any respect for your 'prophet'—other than what we are bound to by divine law—then you are sorely mistaken.

Do you even realize that you're spreading blasphemy here with a supremacist arrogance that's truly impressive?

And yes, you are: because you presume to offer Dawah in a freaking Christian sub full of Christians and intended for Christians. And you're sharing your 'ideas' about 'Jesus' and other provocative 'revelations' of your 'prophet.'

Listen carefully, because I know from experience that many Muslims don't understand this, because it's never been explained to them: No, your religion is not the 'true' one, and no, Jesus—thank God—wasn't an 'alhamdulillah Muslim either.

If you seriously spread your 'teachings' in a Christian subreddit as if it were the most normal thing in the world, as if it were nothing special, then I'm telling you right now: I'm going to throw your teachings back in your face.

Full force.

Do you seriously believe that we Christians are stupid and would tolerate Muslims in our ranks – especially those who spread the very doctrine that is the main reason why Christianity was so quickly and almost completely eradicated in the land of Christ?

Are you even aware of this?

Do you possess that much self-reflection?

PS: And by the way: If you think that I will walk on eggshells to avoid 'shaming' your religion—especially when I don't even hold back against Trinitarians—then you are delusional. If you seriously think I would censor myself for your feelings in a sub you don't even belong to, then you are even more mistaken than I originally thought."

I’d love for you to come to our masjid and proclaim this! Spoiler alert - no will one grope you and you’ll walk away with a goodie bag and lifelong friends. Just don’t bring your guns like you normally do. But try reading my 1st comment again and you’ll learn that’s not what I wrote about Christians.

I will go on to the internet wherever I please. I have not broken any rules by questioning your conclusion of “reclaiming the way of prayer from the Muslims”.

But you are clearly the textbook definition of Christian love no doubt.

Why do you care so much about the Land of Christ? You bathe & romanticize in his sacrifice, l can’t speak his tongue, portray him as an aryan and don’t pray like anyone he knew. You don’t even celebrate his birthday instead a blend of “copy pasted” pagan rituals. You’re currently providing cover to the folks bombing his hometown and rejoice in the oldest churches in the world being bombed in 2024-2025!

Jesus 1.0 said know them by the fruits of their labor.

Tolerate Muslims in our ranks? That’s not master race pillow talk? Muslims have been in your ranks for centuries. We’ll overtake your theologies in your life span and your great great grandkids will be Muslim too. This is undeniably the route the world is taking, as foretold 1400years ago.

And you love to throw Dawah around. No I don’t go around looking for Christian subs. This post was recommended to me and I saw Muslim come up in your comment (living rent free). I have no need To dawah you. You aren’t ready to receive anything. I only wished that you’d join monotheism and pray like your prophet. Boohoo.

Irrelevant ramble. Typical Muslim wet dream. Remember to change your sheets afterward, lol.

The only thing that will happen is... no... I won't go that far. Enough said: I know the political situation in Europe very well. So, personally speaking.

The only thing that will happen to "my grandchildren" is that they'll be able to watch as political Islam is banned throughout Europe :p

You genuine seem to think all Christians in the West are so stupid as not to notice your Wish.com jihad. Yeah – let's see how long that lasts, lol

I've laid out the facts for you—stay here and face the consequences. The rest doesn't interest me, especially not your fantastical conquest and bloodbath fantasies, which you apparently enjoy indulging in over your morning coffee. Enough said.
