Praying Out Loud

I have never been very good at praying out loud. The thought of it makes me incredibly nervous. As our children have gotten older, we have started teaching them to pray. Sometimes I forget to pray at certain times, like before a meal but my kids almost always remind me. In order to remain consistent and teach them, I have had to "suck it up" and pray out loud. This normally isn't too big a deal because I am usually just at home with the three of them, however I have found myself in a more public setting, praying in front of numerous friends. YIKES! :) It is hard as I stumble over my words and/or stutter, but as I practice more and more, it becomes easier and feels more comfortable. Nothing like your children holding you accountable and keeping you on track.
