Why Pray Prewritten Prayers?
Why pray words that aren’t your own? From the Psalms to the Lord’s Prayer, the Bible is filled with examples of God’s people using pre-written prayers in worship. Far from stifling authenticity, these prayers connect us to the wisdom, breadth, and unity of the Church through the ages—helping us pray in ways we might never think of on our own. In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore the biblical roots of pre-written prayers and how they can enrich both personal and corporate prayer today.📩 Have a question for a future episode?
