Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the significance of saying ‘Amen’ at the end of a prayer?
Ans. The word ‘Amen’ meaning “so be it” or “let it be”, originally derived from classical Hebrew, is common in various languages today.
It is most likely that the word Amen was used by Hebrews as a spoken response to affirm what had just been said in prayer. It was an affirmation of their desire for God’s presence, blessing, and action.
The term Amen, used frequently in the Psalms, recognized God’s presence and acknowledged his power.
Q. Why are so many prayers opened with the words “Dear Lord”?
Ans. These words draw the attention of the individual and also focus on him/her as it is assumed that he/she is facing God.
The word “Dear” with Lord denotes that the person is addressing a close and dear one like father, mother, etc.
These words also show that person praying is not afraid or shy of God and also conveys an impression that he/she adopts a familiar tone with God.
Also, it may be assumed that since someone is there to communicate with the Lord, he/she does have a personal issue that needs attention.
Q. Why are prayers closed with the words ‘In Jesus’ name’?
Ans. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:14.
These words are not just some magic charm that we use to seal our prayers. They are the expression of our understanding that God’s power is available to us because Jesus has conquered Satan, sin, and death through his resurrection. When we pray to say ‘In Jesus’ name’, it means that we affirm that yes, as far as it depends on God, everything that we ask for is possible.
Because Jesus lives in us through the power of the Holy Spirit, and because by his resurrection he has destroyed death, therefore everything that he promised to do for us before he died is now made available to us through him.
Conclusion
Prayers are beneficial not only for the individual but also for the people around him/her. It is important to know and understand the significance of each word that we say in prayer.
By including words that are not just a mere expression of our feelings but have great meaning, and prayer can become more meaningful and effective in communicating with God, Our Creator.
