Chapter 6

Prayer


1a

When thou prayest, thou shalt not use many words, or vain repetitions; for God hath understanding:

1b

Nor shalt thou cry aloud; for God heareth the whisper of the heart.

2

¶ Nevertheless, in the assembly shalt thou speak with an audible voice, that he who prayeth with thee, may say: Amen.

3a

¶ Thy prayers shall be unto God, thy Father; for He is rich in mercy, and loving kindness:

3b

And in heaven shall He hear thee, in the fulness of His wisdom and goodness, if thou believe on His name.

3c

But unto His Ministers shalt thou petition for whatsoever He has dispensed unto them, for His mercy is over all his works.
