"祈りは信仰の自然な表現であり、呼吸は生活の自然な表現である"
— Jonathan Edwards
Simplified Meaning:
Just as breathing is essential for living, praying is essential for those who have faith. When someone believes in something strongly, talking to a higher power comes as naturally as taking a breath. Imagine a child who trusts their parents completely and turns to them whenever they need help. The child doesn’t have to think about asking for help; it just happens because of their trust. Similarly, for a person who has faith, prayer is an instinctive way to connect with their beliefs and seek comfort, guidance, or express gratitude. It’s something they do without hesitation because it feels natural and necessary. So, just like we breathe without thinking to stay alive, people with faith pray without overthinking because it’s a fundamental part of their spiritual life.
