It helps to know that others are facing the same difficulties, or have lived through them and learned spiritual principles in the process. We are instructed to love one another, encourage one another, pray for one another, accept one another, bear one another's burdens, and build-up one another. We really do need each other. God never meant for you to go it alone in the Christian life. If you're lonely, the answer to your problem is to join a group.
Many people are hesitant to pray in front of others, especially in a large church.
In a small group of 6 to 12, you will learn to participate in prayer by having a conversation together with God. No one is pressured to pray, but as you become comfortable, you'll be able to pray sentence prayers and join in. There are many promises in the Bible related to group prayer. In praying together with a few others, we are drawn together and we find answers to the needs in our lives. You will be able to handle stress and pressure better Small groups provide excellent support in times of crisis, change, and stress.
