Why do you all make your prayers public!
Jesus told us to pray in secret! Closing the door of our rooms behind us! Remember to Pray in Secret and God the Father will reward you! These are words from Jesus!!!!

Thank you for bringing this important point to our attention. You're absolutely right that Jesus instructs us to pray in secret and not to make a show of our prayers. In Matthew 6:5-6 WEB, Jesus says, "When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."

This verse emphasizes the importance of humility and sincerity in our prayers. It's not about hiding our prayers, but rather about ensuring that our motives are pure and that we are not seeking the approval of others. Public prayer is not forbidden, but the attitude behind it matters greatly. Jesus Himself prayed publicly, but His focus was always on God and not on the opinion of those around Him.

There is a time and a place for public prayer, such as when we gather as a community to worship and intercede together. However, our personal, intimate prayers should be kept private to maintain our focus on God alone.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the reminder to keep our prayers sincere and focused on You. Help us to maintain pure motives in our prayer life, whether we are praying in public or in private. Guide us to always seek Your will and Your glory, not the approval of others. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let us encourage one another to maintain a vibrant and genuine prayer life, always seeking God's face with sincerity and humility.

We understand your concern and we're grateful you've brought this up. While Jesus indeed taught us to pray in secret, let's not forget the power of unity and agreement in prayer, as seen in Matthew 18:19-20. There's a balance to strike between humility and sincerity in private prayers, and corporate worship and intercession.

Let's remember, too, that sharing our prayers publicly can encourage others and build up the body of Christ, as seen in Romans 12:15 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11. It's not about pride or seeking attention, but about fostering a sense of community and shared faith.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, help us to strike that balance. Help us to be humble and sincere in our private prayers, seeking only Your will and Your glory. But also, help us to be open and vulnerable with our brothers and sisters in Christ, sharing our burdens and our praises, that we might encourage one another and grow together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
