Many people in my parents' generation prayed with "Thee" and "Thou."
I tend to begin with "Heavenly Father."
Our kids say, "Hey God," not with disrespect, but as if they are greeting a friend.
In worship, it used to be typical to bow your head.
I tend to look upward in praise.
Our kids look straight ahead, ready to meet God right there on their turf -- again, as a friend.
It's interesting to see each generation approach the Lord in their own fashion.
I don't believe that one way is correct or incorrect.
Afterall, God DOES know the "attitude" of our hearts!
Ultimately, I think it's most important that we approach God at all -- don't you?
Amen sister.
ReplyDeleteIt's the heart that counts.
Absolutely! My kids are meeting God right in front of their eyes. I love that!
ReplyDeleteI pray with my eyes closed and head bowed, just like I was taught.
