Do you have a meeting coming up? Need to close it out with prayer? This blog post is for you. Prayer can be used to cover any area of ministry, but this article will focus specifically on closing meetings or other events.
Prayer is a powerful act, and when done with the right attitude, it can be life-changing for all involved.
The first thing to remember when praying in front of others is that God already knows what you’re thinking, so just say it! You don’t have to worry about speaking in tongues or making sounds you aren’t comfortable with.
If the prayer is from your heart, God will understand. It’s important to remember that you are not praying for yourself but for the people around you. Try to think about what would be needed most in order to benefit others present.
As with any prayer, it’s important to come prepared, especially when praying in front of others.
Praying when you’re just shooting off the cuff can be dangerous because if you don’t know what to say or how to say it, your words could come across quite poorly.
Think about what you want to say ahead of time, and take care in choosing your words so that they shine in a positive light. This is a good opportunity to ask for God’s help in guiding your words.
