The new testament gives us clear direction on how to pray. Prayer is a serious give and take communication with God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.
(Mathew: Chapter 6: verses 5-8)
A fellow SA. person can gather in the prayer with a like, or comment on it with a like kind prayer. Everyone is anonymous, so each person is free to express their communication with God within a group for the special needs we may require, or just to give thanks and praise to the one who made the universe.
