A pastor argues that many Christians say they'll pray for others but don't actually do it. He reasons that Jesus must have prayed aloud, since his prayers were recorded by others, and challenges believers to stop making empty promises and pray for real.
People are not really talking to God. It's just like when people say, I'm gonna pray for you, and they never pray for you. I pray we never become like those people in the name of Jesus. When we read about Jesus and his prayer life, how do we know the prayers that Jesus prayed? Just think critically for a second. How are we able to read these prayers? Think about it like this. Christine's praying to God, and I'm able to write down her prayers. How? Because I heard you, right? So that begs the question, all of these prayers that Jesus prayed that was written by somebody else could only be possible because Jesus prayed out loud.
