The idea of public prayer has been debated for years. For reasons that I will not express at this time, I believe that secret prayers to God will accomplish more good.

Unfortunately, centuries of tradition carries more weight than my arguments -- even though I always say, "Use your Bible to support or refute me." Another old saying of mine in regard to the Bible: "Read it before you misquote it."

What do you mean by public prayer? Are you talking about the closing and opening prayer at Church that one person does out loud? Are you talking about prayer before a meal that is done by one person in the family?

I just realized I will probably not see your answer to next week. We are going to my sister's place for a couple of days. Unlike my daughter, she does not have internet service. She thinks the internet is evil. God willing I will be back Monday.
