Worship By Prayer
Prayer is another important part of a public worship service. Although most of our praying should be done privately, there are examples throughout the book of Acts of groups praying together.
In Acts 4:24, we are told that the believers "lifted up their voice to God with one accord.'' In Acts 12:12, the Bible says, "Many were gathered together praying.'' Acts 13:3 states, "When they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.''
We should be careful to keep our public praying general and relevant to the worship service. Public prayer should concentrate on the Missionaries that the Church supports, the ministry of the local Church, specific needs which are public knowledge and thanking God for His blessings.
A public prayer should be something to which all present can "Amen," that is, so be it, or I agree.
