What do you find most difficult about praying with others? Most rewarding?
-
As discussed, long never ending prayer. Selfish like prayers, prayers of doubt.
The joy in prayer is when you see God move in the lives of those being prayed for.

I have a very hard time praying out loud with others. I’m getting better. Last summer I think was the first time my adult children heard me pray out loud, other that then “God is great, God is good…..”. I shared with the worship team at my church my struggle with this. I’m going to get it.
-
I am not comfortable praying out loud but I love the power that comes with united prayer.
-
I personally do not have any issues praying with others. However, when others are praying at the same time, I get confused.
I prefer praying together taking turns. The most rewarding thing I get when we pray together is to see the peace and joy on each face. -
A little background. I grew up in church so they always prayed for others at end of service, taking requests and they all prayed out loud for others and each family tried to pray louder than the others and it would remind me of what Jesus said about the Pharisees to be seen and heard so I grew to dislike praying aloud in church for others as if I were a hypocrite too. As I grew I began to want to pray for others but kept falling back into that feeling of being a hypocrite if I did, but this lesson was challenging for me because I broke through to see that I could do this and that is wasn’t about my past but about me personally growing and moving past that and being obedient to God and learning how to pray for others all over again and so that was rewarding in itself for me.
