Public Prayer

 


How NOT to pray in public.

 


Matthew 6:5 (MSG)

And when you come before God, don’t turn that into a theatrical production either. All these people making a regular show out of their prayers, hoping for fifteen minutes of fame!

Are you reluctant to pray in front of others? Fear not, it isn’t a speech. You simply talk to God while others listen in on the conversation.

 


Good morning, Lord. Teach me, when I pray, to focus on You and not the people around me. Help me shut down the enemy’s whispers telling me my words aren’t good enough or that others will think less of me. Banish my self-consciousness, fill me with an awareness of Your presence.
