0252 Listening to a Somewhat Hungry Hymn
"Ronald, just to be on the safe side, I want to ask you, do you know what prayer is?"
"Wait!Didn't we just talk about the magic conch?!"
"That's the end of the conversation! You just need to know that I won't give you back the magic conch!"
"Huh?"
"Hey, even if I give you the conch, you won't be able to leave here, and according to the rules, the pious Chosen One must become a substitute of the gods who can stand on their own before they can leave the Central Cathedral, and until then they must practice here. β
"Huh?"
"Okay, let me ask again, do you know what prayer is?"
"Tell God about your desires?"
"Well, that's basically true, but it's not that simple, what was your wish to tell God last time?"
"Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe..."
"Stop!"
β... Dried meat, sausages, assorted Su plates, smoked chicken and white belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, Jiangmi stuffed duck, canned pheasant, canned quail, braised goose, pheasant, rabbit breast, vegetable python, whitebait, steamed hash ants, braised duck shreds, braised duck loins, braised duck strips, mixed duck shreds..."
"Stop!!
"I'm not done yet! I'll talk about it for a while, and let me stop for a while, what do you want?!"
"What are these? some kind of spell?"
"Of course not, it's all I want to eat... What to do, I'm a little hungry, when is lunch here? I didn't eat anything yesterday, and I had too little breakfast this morning. β
β... Listen! What prayer is, a way to pray that we acquiesce to God about our desires, and a way for our hearts to speak directly with God, and a natural outpouring of feelings such as reverence, trust, gratitude, and prayer for God. It's not that you want to talk about what you want to eat! You don't want to think about what God would think if he heard that.
"But didn't the Pope say that the statue was broken because the God of Light was happy?"
"To call His Majesty the Pope! Moreover, you cannot call God of Light directly, but to speak of our God! Well, I go on! To pray is to open your heart to God, as if you were talking to a confidant. It's not that God knows what's going on in our hearts, but it's an effort to draw near to Him, because prayer is not about bringing God down to us, it's about bringing us up to them. β
"Ahh I have a question about this. β
β... What's the problem?"
"That is to say, how do you ascend to God?"
That is, of course, to follow God's will, to fulfill God's promises, to become God's walkers on the earth, and then at some point, we will finally be redeemed and ascend to God's presence. β
"A moment, the moment you die, right?"
Luo Xiaotian rolled his eyes, it was the tone of heaven again. Generally speaking, as long as you are obedient, you can ascend to the presence of God, well, the place where God is must be full of light, and you don't have to suffer anymore.
Okay, don't dwell on that, I'll tell you how to pray correctly! Prayer can be anything, prayer is praise to God, thanksgiving, prayer, repentance, outpouring, etc. β
"Since I can do anything, wouldn't it be okay for me to pray for what I want to eat?"
β... Shut up!! if you interrupt me again, I'll go tell the Pope your true identity and let the Pope throw you into the oil pot!"
Luo Xiaotian pursed his lips, planning to listen intently to the words of the Holy Maiden Qi Yana and then refute them one by one, since before he came to this world, Luo Xiaotian has always been disdainful of things about God, heaven, and the like, and now in this place where there is power, no one has ever seen what a god looks like, and he wants to use his knowledge to convince others!
It's definitely not a broken jar!
"Focus, respect, and trust, you have to do these three things when you pray, and by the way, give you this book, and at the beginning you just have to recite the contents of this book silently while praying, well, if it weren't for the fact that the people before you didn't know that the chosen person of God didn't even have this book, they wouldn't have let you pray for yourself. β
Luo Xiaotian took the book with the golden cover handed over by Qi Yana and turned to the first page.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth is empty and chaotic, and the face of the abyss is dark. This is the word that is written in the Scriptures, it is true, and it is the basis on which I will unfold the word, the contrast between the exuberance and the emptiness of all things, which shows the dignity of God, all under Him, all by God, so let me humble myself at the feet of God. The contrast between the order and chaos of all things shows the power of God, who is in charge of all things, who rules all things, and I feel that I cannot control myself and must submit to Him, so I submit to Him. The contrast between the breath of life and the darkness of the abyss shows the glory of God, and may all breath praise God, God is the source of life, and my life is given to me through Him. β
β......β
Luo Xiaotian pursed his lips, don't you feel numb when you hear this? Goosebumps are up, okay?
"I have been blessed by you, I have been strengthened in my sorrows, I have been blessed by you, I have been made clear in all things, I have been enlightened by you, may darkness be far from me, I will walk with you, and you will not forsake me, and if I fall, you will lift me up, and you will always be before me, and restrain my wandering judges, and I will not be slow in the days you have set, and I will not be slow in the feast you have prepared, and I will prepare myself from the inside out, and tomorrow morning I will go and worship you, my Lord and my God, and may your sons and daughters belong, gather together, that our hearts may rejoice, and our spirits rejoiceοΌβ
Then Luo Xiaotian hurriedly closed the book, he was really sorry, it was physically unacceptable to read these things to the God of Light by himself.
"Just follow the reading!
β......β
"You won't be able to get out of here without God's approval, and I won't give you back the magical conch. Come on, hurry up and start reading!"
β... Is it okay to meditate?"
"All right, but you must meditate with concentration, respect, and trust, or it will not reach our God!"
Luo Xiaotian nodded and opened the first page of the golden book.
"Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe..."
