Some people are shy about praying with others, and sometimes they probably think about the passage of Scripture where Jesus said, “When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6). Well, there is a time for that, but there is also a time to pray together. Sometimes it’s important that you make your request known not only to God, but also to others. That way, they can join with you in prayer and manifest their faith and confess their dependence on the Lord along with you. Never hesitate to ask for prayer when you need it. God loves to answer prayer and He has to answer when He sees we’re united in love and prayer and purpose and mind and heart and spirit. “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:19-20). God’s dynamics of the spirit really operate amazingly! The Bible says that when God’s Spirit empowers us, one can chase one thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight (Deuteronomy 32:30). Matthew 18:20 ESV - For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them. Matthew 18:19 ESV - Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. James 5:14-15 ESV - Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
