Be a man of prayer in your private life Spend time preparing for your prayer in advance Help us remember we are entering the presence of God Help us to focus on God and not on you Talk to God and not to us Speak for the entire assembly (we, us, our) Speak loudly, distinctly, simply & understandably for all Be mindful of the specific purpose of your prayer Have an attitude of awe, humility & confidence in God Avoid vain repetitions and empty phrases (be sincere) Keep the prayer focused & to the point

Remember the prayer leader is not the only one praying Remember we are all praying to “OUR Father” together Remember that no one else can worship for you Join in the prayer with your own heart and thoughts Say, “Amen” Overcome distractions by disciplining your thoughts Pray privately at home and prayer will be more natural Get excited in the power of ONE heart lifting up to God Don’t get frustrated with the prayer leader
