How on Earth can a mere mortal with a finite mind possibly know what God thinks of the private prayers of another? Sure, prayer is supposed to be most sincere, and we're discouraged from mindlessly repeating words without giving any thought, merely going through the motions. However, the key word is "mindlessly." It's a beautiful thing when a person recites a prayer with all their heart and soul and being.
Is God looking for perfect eloquence? Is He looking for imperfect eloquence? Does that matter so much, or do our intentions matter more? Does God not already know what is in the mind and heart, regardless of the words spoken, even before asking? Of course. Of course.
To judge another's prayers is .
God gave me the gift of eloquence in both spoken and written word, but I could never in a million years write as eloquently as Baha'i prayers. There is no way I could ever be that eloquent on my own. The words REACH ME, so I use them
Formal prayer is A GIFT FROM GOD!!
