Abstract

The article presents the anthropological aspect (point of view) of Christian prayer. It is about looking at prayer from the perspective of man, a psychophysical-spiritual being leaning towards God, and having an insight into the human form of prayer. You can consider prayer from both God's and human perspectives as there is an inseparable connection between the praying person and God. The apostle of nations recommends to Christians a "radical turn" towards God, thanks to the help of the Holy Spirit (Rom 8, 26b-27). It is necessary to convert and admit that man actually cannot pray, and even when he does, it is only possible out of the help and in the power of God Himself. Where should man look for a source of true prayer? What should be the attitude of the praying person (oranta)? What can be today's "primer of prayer"? These are the problem questions expressing the anthropological aspect of Christian prayer.
