[quote=ltsddd][quote=scaredyclassic]on the other hand, never tell a fellow religious person you’ll be praying for them. too much to lay on anyone. if you must do it, do it silently.

Not sure if that’s how it works with the religious. They are not praying unless other could hear or see that they are praying. That’s why many insisting on reopening of the churches amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Silently praying at home is not effective. Apparently, g*d only hangs out at churches.[/quote]
prayer definitely is performance art. does anyone speak in tongues in the privacy of their own bedroom?
this is no fun:
Matthew 6:5-6
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
it’s almost like He is telling you it’s ok to stay in your home alone….
