I read two chapters of the bible daily and talk (pray) to the good lord on a daily basis, as well as short prayer that I almost don't notice all day long. Public prayer scares me and I don't know why...I am afraid I will go blank... I too have problems doing public prayer.

Hey, if you have time, check out Leslie's poll over at Lux Venit (she's on my blogroll). The poll is entitled "Are you a strong willed woman?" I'm still working on my answers - it's a lot of food for thought. Thanks so much for checking! Hey, if you have time, check out Leslie’s poll over at Lux Venit (she’s on my blogroll).

My name link actually sent you to a “supplemental” blog. I think I fixed that and my name link will take you to my main blog if you want to check it out.

You're right about faltering. I got some encouraging emails the next day from my predecessors. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks so much for your kind words. You’re right about faltering.

Just focus on talking to God like it's just the two of you. Be encouraged. You know what happens every time you falter when praying out loud in front of a bunch of church ladies? A bunch of church ladies are praying for you at that very moment. (Found you through WordPress Tag Surfer) Alyson,

It's true, he often wakes me up. @ Brian: Thanks! I'm going to keep trying till I'm more comfortable with it. And, acutally they elected me because nobody else would do it. LOL. Gotta love those small chruches. @ Wendy: Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s true, he often wakes me up.

A person can use long and hard-to-understand words while praying, but if it isn't heartfelt and sincere, God isn't going to listen. You keep on praying out loud, girl! They elected you for a reason and that probably has much more to do with how you conduct your life than the way you offer public prayer. I don’t think God cares about fancy words at all.
