Pray More, Talk Less (Praying for Rain! United Prayer)

Satan is thrilled if he can keep us talking about our problems instead of praying about them. With this in mind, we do not encourage people to share requests before the united prayer session begins. Instead, we
direct participants to simply voice their petitions to God during the time of supplication.“Unitedly make known your troubles to God. Talk less; much precious time is lost in talk that brings no light. Let brethren unite in fasting and prayer for the wisdom that God has promised to supply liberally.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 188
