***No, I don’t go into a closet, but I pray and sometimes kneel in solitude, as Christ rightly instructed us.***
Very rightly.
***Men don’t need to kneel in public for God to know their prayers. As He says, He knows what we need before we ask.***
Then why ask? Does it change God’s mind? If everything is predestined, then why bother at all, except as a mechanical exercise that means nothing.
Does God know what we need before we ask Him?
