What do you find most difficult about praying with others? Most rewarding?
-
The specifics of my request. Sometimes I do not have to say it for someone in the group senses my needs and utter an appropriate prayer for me.
-
The most difficult about praying with others is to determine the requests for prayers. Usually, the first question we asked is, “Does anyone has any requests?”. Imagine the time wasted before the throne of grace unless we have appointed a leader to gather the requests beforehand.
Praying together increases trust and intimacy with other members. Besides, the act of gathering together and praying in Jesus’ name is the key to promote unity among the followers of Jesus Christ. -
I find it very difficult to pray in a group because I worry about doing the prayer properly – especially in the presence of other more experienced Christians. I don’t want to do it badly and offend people. I find it rewarding when you see the genuine glow in people after the meeting – when people feel great about connecting with God.
-
The most difficult thing is feeling embarrassed; it seems that prayer is often a private thing and I almost feel “ashamed” to do it in front of others. But when there is corporate prayer, sometimes you truly feel the presence of the Lord, and that is rewarding.
-
Most difficult: The tendency to be long-winded, either myself or others. This causes people to lose focus. Most rewarding: The amazing presence of the Lord during corporate prayer.
