Depending on your comfort level and situation, you can choose whether to pray out loud or silently. Over time, you will likely grow more comfortable praying out loud. If you are praying for someone who is physically present with you, it might encourage them to hear your faith expressed through your prayers. But if you find praying silently allows you to focus more on God, that’s okay too. Be sure to allow silence too so you can listen to God. You’ll find it harder to hear what He is saying if you are doing all the talking.
