Prayer in the light of the 16 and 17th century reformed confessions

What is the Reformed prayer, and how does it look like? In my opinion, every Reformed believer should ask themselves this question sometimes, but they can not find an answer. However, we have Confessions, and so there is some guidance, but not a clear model by which we can put the theology of prayer into practice. This thesis aims to fill this gap. If we try to discover something about Reformed spirituality, we need to start from John Calvin, and the confessions of our Church. To see a clearer picture, I studied all the confessions that were available for me, from the Irish Confession and the Hungarian confession from Debrecen-Egervölgy to the two Westminster Catechisms. Most of them have a theological perception about prayer and this is what we can put into practice in our everyday spirituality. At the end of my thesis, I compare two prayers from different periods to find out what are the teachings which survived the ages, perhaps in an unreflected way, and I also describe a prayer routine which puts the doctrines into practice. I hope that my thesis will not just summarize the confessions' doctrines about prayer, but also present a now-old way of praying in a Reformed manner.
