About one hundred years ago, there was an old revival preacher named Billy Sunday. Some of
you may have heard of Billy Sunday. Billy Sunday used to say that the best thing that could
happen to you was that you'd go to one of his revivals, get saved, walk into the street, be run
over by a Mac truck and go straight to Heaven.
That's not exactly how Jesus laid it out. The Get Saved and Die Quick plan was not Option A.
He said our mission is to be Kingdom Bearers, to pray:
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. May people come to realize
what a glorious, good person You are. That's what a Name is about , the personhood
of God. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
''Matthew 6: 9-10''
We are to be Kingdom-Bearers.  By: John Ortberg - December 22, 2006 - Public

 | Prayer and Need |
Prayer reminds us of our daily need for God, and helps us trust that
God will meet those daily needs. When we say, `Give us this day our daily bread, ` what we are acknowledging is that
no matter how rich, or educated, or smart we are, everything we have comes from God and we need him. We are not selfmade
people. When we pray, `deliver us from evil, ` what we are saying is that we are not spiritual heroes; we cannot be
good on our own. We acknowledge that we need Jesus if we are going to be good. Prayer reminds us that we are the
creature, not the creator, and that's important because otherwise we start to try to handle everything ourselves, and
usually get in trouble, sort of like I did when the three drunk men came into my college group. Prayer reminds us of our
need for God, and it is a place where we find confidence that God will take care of our needs and meet our needs. Now,
as I just said, prayer needs to be more than listing our needs, but a big part of prayer is asking for things. God wants us to
bring our needs and our requests to him, he wants us to do that, and when we do, we will find confidence that he will meet
our needs. Maybe not our wants: but our needs. Notice we ask for daily bread, not monthly cake. It's what we need,
bread, and it's as we need it, daily. We can't store it all up for years and years because then we'd never have to back to
God again and probably wouldn't. We get what we need as we need it.By: Scott Dudley - December 08, 2006 - Public

 | Why does God appreciate prayers in secret more than public prayers? |
Those who make a 'show' of their prayer and devotion to God are not truly believers in the Kingdom of the Lord. The hypocrites made a show of how much they prayed to the Lord, but did not live their lives in true Christian spirit.By: Richard Warren - May 04, 2008 - Public

God wants us to pour our hearts to him freely and in a simpl manner. In public some of us might get concious n deliberately choose words and phrases to make our prayers flowery...that MIGHT HAMPER the work of HOLY SPIRIT...because of lack of concentration..
But alone in a private place we can pray without being concious n totally invlove in one to once experience with Father through JESUS with the help of HOLY SPIRIT.. We can concentrate on the presence of the Three in our private praying place instead of concentrating on people around us.URL: http://www.jesuscentral.com/12550

God knows that it is you and him communicating in the prayer so there is no need to be shouting to the viewers and listeners of what you are telling God.By: Bol Joseph Agau - March 29, 2007 - Public

We are putting God first when we pray in private. We are keeping our attention solely on Him and we are keeping the world out. God doesn`t care who sees us when we pray - He cares about what is in our hearts when we are talking to Him.By: Patty - March 29, 2007 - Public
