What is prayer? Why the qualification “with thanksgiving”? Why is prayer a “special” part of worship? How do we know prayer is required by God of all men? What’s the difference between “accepted” and “unaccepted” prayer? What does it mean to pray with the help of the Spirit? What does it mean to pray according to the will of God? Why is vocalized prayer to be made in a known tongue? Tune in as Nathan, Shawn, Joel and Kyle discuss WCF 21.3:
Prayer with thanksgiving, being one special part of religious worship, is by God required of all men; and that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the name of the Son, by the help of his Spirit, according to his will, with understanding, reverence, humility, fervency, faith, love, and perseverance;and, if vocal, in a known tongue.
