There is clearly a Christian New Testament tradition that warns against praying loudly in the front of the temple where everyone can see you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Prayer in private results in boldness in public.
The temple and the holy ordinances are indeed sacred, and we should be spiritually sensitive to them. It is a sacred blessing to attend the temple to worship the Lord.
In my house, I'm not allowed to shout at anybody. It's very strict. It's a very Christian home.
Christians are commanded to pray in the name of Jesus. It is not a practice reserved just for personal prayers, or prayers rendered in church.
Praying is like a rocking chair - it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
If you want to pray at a town hall meeting or a school board meeting or in the halls of Congress, that ought to be acceptable in the United States.
The only times I'm consistent about praying are when I'm on an airplane or when an ambulance goes by.
Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
I'm a praying atheist. When I hear an ambulance siren, I ask for a blessing for those people in trouble, knowing that no one's listening. I think it's just a habit of mindfulness.
When I'm standing in a stadium packed with 80,000 screaming fans, I can't just whip out my Bible before I run. That's when I start praying! It's so loud that I can't even hear what I'm saying, but it always helps.
