It is a strange phenomenon. When someone leads public prayer, some begin to have a truckload of ideas flood their minds and pour out of their mouths, while others freeze and can barely utter an intelligible request. One remedy for roaming and rambling or stammering and stumbling is to share public prayers. Whether leading a congregation in a corporate confession of sin or a communal series of prayers, it helps to know there is a thought-out beginning, middle, and end. To You I Lift Up My Soul gathers a number of prayers for such occasions.
