People can often sense our closeness with the Lord
when they hear us pray.
For those who hear us pray and are beginning to seek the Lord,
it can create a hunger inside of them.
When I have been asked to pray for a public meeting, I have kept my main focus on my opportunity to manifest my closeness to the Father. Public prayer opens the door for displaying for others how to feel comfortable and accepted in the Father's presence. It gives an example of what others can have with the Father.
I want my prayer to eternally touch others.
Before my public prayer, I privately pray and ask God to allow my closeness and love for him to show through me. I pray that those who don't know him - or are not close to him - would feel such a warmth between the Father and me that they would hunger for that kind of relationship.
I want to draw people toward the Lord.
This prayer point idea came to me as I was listening to a story about a man who prayed a simple public prayer. Later he was approached by someone who had become hungry for the kind of relationship with God that he heard exhibited during that prayer.

Second Meeting Prayer:
God of all Creation,
We come before you to welcome you tothis meeting.
We give you respect and acknowledge youas our Creator and Provider.
It is you who are omnipresent. You areeverywhere, Lord.
It is you who are omnipotent. You haveall power.
It is you who are omniscient. You knoweverything.
God, as we begin this meeting, we askthat you would guide our thoughts and our actions so that we may havea successful meeting today.
Help us to accomplish our goals whiledisplaying your character.
We pray these things in your mighty name.
Amen
