HI.
My Non-Catholic Christian friend was curious and listened to Catholic Radio today and heard the Rosary being said. This brought up the subject of repeating prayers. He says that he tries not to say the same prayer over and over againing cuz its like not trusting God. For example, his aunt is sick so he prayed for her once and trusts that God will do whats best for her. He said that praying for her health everday would be like not trusting in God.
My response was, when Jesus gave us the Our Father was this meant to be prayed only once?
I also said if it’s like that, why did Jesus pray the same prayer 3 times in the Garden?
He said well its not wrong but he doesn’t think its better. He said he doesn’t think God would be upset at him because he doesn’t pray alot.
How can I show him how important a prayer life is?
Thanks in advance.
