Devotional
What is motivating you, when you pray in public? Is it to keep up appearances, or is it just a ritual? We need to pray with a sincere heart. God knows our motives when we pray. Ask yourself this one question. Why am I praying? If it is to please men, then you are praying for the wrong reason.
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:5
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
Action Point
Before you pray in public, ask God to guide you. Pray to Him, and no one else. Be sincere, and don't try to please the people around you. Pray to God, and only Him.
