What do you find most difficult about praying with others? Most rewarding?

Sometimes it is the one who prays for everything!
Rewarding when prayers are answered or seeing united prayers strengthening and upholding a person/situation. -
At times I find the long-winded and repetitive prayers most frustrating. But then, we try to give each one a safe space in which to “vent” before the Lord. I also find that as I open my heart to what others pray, I gain a greater sense of God at work, that He’s listening, and He desires that I watch and stay aware of Him.

The most difficult thing is for me to focus on God when I pray and not on other people and what they might think about my words to God. God has been helping me to get through this problem by reminding me the Holy Spirit intercedes for me when I’m stuck on words. Thankfully, God is more interested in hearts than articulation. When I do pray with someone else, it instantly gives me a sense of awe upon realizing I am in the presence of another follower and God Himself.
