"Prayer is certainly personal, but it is never individual in the way that [some] comparisons would suggest. The language used in the Lord's Prayer is not "mine" and "me," but "our" and "us." In giving advice on prayer, Martin Luther counseled, "Remember that you are not kneeling or standing there alone... all devout Christians are standing there with you in one unanimous, united prayer which God cannot ignore." Whether we are in the presence of others or physically alone, when we pray we are united with all those who through faith in Jesus Christ have become the adopted children of God."
Great Quote
Found this great quote last night from an otherwise boring book, "Missional Church, A Vision for the Sending of the Church in North America."
