Thank you for this. Having grown up in an atmosphere where public prayer was as much a tool for theological gatekeeping and self-righteous evangelism as it was for crying out to God (maybe more so), I have largely rebelled against it. BUT I feel the soft urging of the Spirit still, and I know it's an important act of enchantment... I find it extremely difficult and rarely pray publicly. Any tips on getting started?
Lord, teach us to pray and not give up.
