When it is NOT Taught to Do.

But What IS Taught… ——>

Matt 6:
[6] But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.



Pss 62:
[6] He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

Matt 5:4
[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Eph 6:
[18] Praying]/B] always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
