When someone is praying in public, i sometimes listen and add my mental “Amen” to their words.
Other times, their words send me down a different line of thought. It’s like I step into my private prayer closet and have a personal conversation with God.
That’s OK — as long as my heart’s in the right place. God can listen to more than one conversation at the same time.
Psalm 34:15 (ERV)
The Lord watches over those
who do what is right,
and he hears their prayers.
