This is a challenge for me. I usually pray silently but I have been practicing to pray out loud for the following reasons:

1. It keeps me on track.

My mind tend to drift when I pray in my mind.

2. It is a statement of faith.

Prayer is also proclaiming. We profess our faith. There are times that when I pray I end up shouting in my room and thanking God. It is a journey when we pray, you will never know where God will lead the conversation.

3. When I talk to people, I don’t talk using my mind I have to open my mouth.

This is not a law in prayer but just sharing some things that benefits me when I pray out loud.
