How did the "Father God" style prayer that is so prevalent among believers today get started?

People mimic others who seem more "spiritual." The thing that annoys me more than that is the sound many make clicking their tongue in pauses during their prayers. It sounds almost like "tsk."

Drives me bananas, bless their hearts.

I can't say I know how it started, but I know that it's been around a long long time. it's the way that people pray. some do it and some don't. it's not just a fad, it's been around a while. And I think it's all in how comfortable the person praying feels about what they are saying. they might like saying "Father God", maybe it's how they learned. Nothing really you can do to change it. it's the way people are... I don't personally use it, but I do know a lot of people that do.. Because technically he is our "father", he is the one that makes each and everyone of us. None of us are a mistake, he made us for one reason or the other... So, when people say "father", it's because he was the maker of them, even though they have a real man as their father - God makes us all..

Generally people do not understand that we are supposed to

talk to our Abba/Father in heaven in the name of Yeshua,

guided by His Spirit/Ruach. Its a conversation really & the so

called Lords Prayer is an outline of things to pray about. Of

course you can just quote it word for word.

People use all the above statements because they heard

someone else use them & its very catchy. Mostly religeous

people pray that way, because they really do not know how

to pray. I am not knocking them, I used to pray just like that.

There needs to be reverence, relationship & realness.

Its only when we do not know someone that we call them Sir

or Lord a lot. Relationships take time to grow & develop, it

takes time to get to know someone.

Its okay to use these terms like Lord, LordGod, FatherGod,

say your prayer, ask for help from the Holy Spirit in the Name

of Yeshua/Jesus. it takes some time to get rid of this habit of

punctuating your prayer with them. This habit has been around

all 30 years I have been saved.

I think the answer to your question is in your question. The concept of "Father God" in prayers probably stems from the first line of the Lord's Prayer that Jesus taught us: "Our Father in Heaven."

And...as things go, that simple phrase morphs into Father God and people use it in many lines of their prayers. You are right when Jesus didn't use that phrase himself after every line, but there isn't anything inherently wrong with it. It just gets annoying.

I really don't know how it started but basicly it is rambling without giving thought to the prayer. like when people talk and they say uh every word or so or teens that say like every word or so and it becomes a habit.

The Lords Prayer is Jesus' Perfect example as to how we should pray. But it is necessary to end the prayer with "In Jesus Name"

Because we must go through him,as our mediator.
