They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42 NIV
This verse doesn't tell us if Luke is describing personal prayer or group prayer. Everything else in the verse, though, is talking about activities the Christians did together.
Many young Christians are afraid to pray out loud in a group. They are afraid they won't know the right words or they will sound stupid.
If you have a hard time praying in a group, try just saying one sentence. Thank God for something. Ask God to grant a request made by another person in the group. Praying is just talking to God. And like everything else in our lives, we become more comfortable doing it the more we practice.
