remember when Jesus said the sermon on the mount
he said to pray not like heathens always repeating but rather everything from the heart when talking to God?
this is a very important reason why He said this
God wants us to have a literal living relationship with Him as you would your biological dad God created us in the womb
He is our Father
Go to Him as a true son and speak from the heart
When you come from the Heart the speaking and ask in earnest for the Holy Spirit God will give it to you
so when you were baptized, did it feel like you were doing something mechanical or was it something that truly wanted to do out of your own free will for repentance and to receive the Holy Spirit that is our teacher through this life?
Quoting: TAAFFEITE This is not about speaking in tongues. I'm suspicious of this concerning repetition. Of course we always want sincerity and heart filled prayer, but in working to attain ceaseless or extended prayer, there will be times of dryness, doubt and other negativities. But repetition programs the subconscious. Over time, the effects are profound. It is like saying to a runner, don't keep running unless you are completely happy and feeling no pain, when actually, the greatest effect of the training is in pushing against resistance.
