The prayer that Jesus gave us is "NOT EFFECTIVE PRAYER"? I really can't believe you said that.

That is not what was said.

What was stated was; saying it one hundred times at once is just not effective prayer and its the opposite of what Jesus was telling us to do.

The emphasis is on pointing out that repeating it one hundred times or even just ten times is heard no better than saying it only once.

Revelation 4:8-11

8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

“ Holy, holy, holy,[a] Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

11 “ You are worthy, O Lord,[b] To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist[c] and were created.”

I don't know, but I wonder if God has asked them to stop their vain repetition.

For crying out loud there’s whole lot of assuming going on around here about whether somebody’s prayer is done right, or heard right. The Lord is perfectly capable of understanding the prayers of His own, however they come to Him. He’s the great Interpreter of what’s going on and no thanks to us humans who think we can take account about such matters as He can.

I think it’s time to let go and let God do the hearing and the interpreting.

sandy and tiki, pray a Our Father for me in my time of need.
I’ll return the favor.

God bless and pax Christi
