I think for some it does. On the other hand, I am thinking that it could also train them to rely on emotion and not on a deep commitment in their heart.
I keep thinking of a time when the instructions had been conveyed to "make a joyful
NOISE" to the Lord.
So, struggling one day in prayer I began to clap really loud and began praising the Lord really loud! lol I felt so frustrated. I said, out loud, "Oh, forget it."
I knelt by the bed and simply and quietly said, "I love you Jesus."
His Spirit came in like a flood. So, it was a lesson for me. I'll never forget that.
Perhaps it was only - do what you feel in your heart and don't compare your walk, prayer and worship with others.
