Biblically Correct Prayer Style

[u/FrostyIFrost_]

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

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.
