Public prayer often gets treated like a warm-up act in church. But what if it’s one of the most spiritually potent moments in the whole service? Natalie Ray wants us to stop coasting and start leading prayers that actually lead.

• Why public prayer is often flat — and how to fix it

• What changes when we treat prayer as intercession, not narration

• The real reason your church probably struggles with prayer

• How the Lord’s Prayer can reshape more than just the words we say

Natalie leads the Magnification and Maturity ministries at Toongabbie Anglican Church
