When Praying, Do Not Look Upon It As A 'Badge Of Honor' To Be Worn Publicly For All Others To See Such 'Great Spiritual Depths' You Have Achieved.

Such praying is shallow, often mechanical and repititious, and such our Saviour warned to avoid. People who pray often in public, often love to be heard praying in public. It is the shy one whose heart is humble whose words are heard by the Master's ear. May your service ever to Him in prayer be so private that no one else sees you standing there. To be recognized only by Him and not give reason for another to diminish your position in prayer by pointing to your place in praise in comparison to others.

THIS IS PRAYER!

To Lose Self In The Sight Of All Others When Entering His Presence, Especially When Speaking On Their Behalf.

AND SO PRAY:

"Lord, may it ever be your head my words seek to turn, that it be for your praise and not another's my soul yearns."
