Forums: Public Prayers - Cries from a Humble Heart

The Bible teaches us not to be theatrical with our prayers, or to put on a "show" before the public. This forum is for honest, humble, sincere, heart-felt cries to the Lord. Please don't post anything here that would put someone else on the spot, call them out, or cause them to feel shame. Please don't post anything manipulative here. Please don't "correct" anyone's prayers (this is between them and God), but feel free to reply and pray with them, or tell them how that encouraged you. As in all things... Speak LIFE!
