     Tebow didn't come up with the phrase "Tebowing"...all the haters want to pin the media hype on him, when it's the media causing all the hype.

     One may question what his motives are when he prays in public. What we should be concerned with is; what is God’s point of view? Prayers in the past were done with the purpose of cultivating and maintaining a close relationship with Jehovah God; and that purpose has not changed. On a positive note we cannot overlook the fact that this young man does have faith of God’s existence compared to the many in this world that don’t believe in Him. But does God approve of such methods? Let’s take a look at Bible history to answer this question.

     The Bible does show that there are fitting occasions for prayer. Before eating with his followers, for example, Jesus thanked God in prayer. (Luke 22:17) And when his disciples assembled for worship, they prayed together. However, the Bible does not limit prayer to any particular time or place. In the Bible, we find a record of God’s servants praying anytime, anywhere. Jesus said: “When you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you.”—Matthew 6:6. Is that not an inviting prospect? You can actually approach the Sovereign of the universe anytime, in complete privacy, and be assured that you will have his attention. Little wonder, then, that Jesus often sought to be alone in order to pray! Once, he spent an entire night in prayer to God, evidently seeking guidance on a most important decision.—Luke 6:12, 13. Other men and women in the Bible record prayed when faced with weighty decisions or daunting challenges. Sometimes they prayed aloud and sometimes silently; they prayed when in groups and when alone. The important thing is that they prayed. God even invites his servants: “Pray incessantly.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) He is willing to listen endlessly to those who do his will. Lesson learned; it may be wise to keep our prayers in private just like our prime example, Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches the hypocrisy in men that prayed in public to get the public’s attention and to seem wise in front of their eyes. Obviously God disapproves of such methods. Please read your Bible daily.
