How is it difficult to "find time to pray?"
Who is this guy on Morning Shmoe? Father O'Brien, saying we need more prayer in government, in schools, in our businesses, because it's so difficult to "find time to pray." Hey, father...if you're driving to work, alone in you car...PRAY. If you're sitting at your desk at work, PRAY. Why do you have to bring everyone else into it? Pray, or don't pray. I'm not a prayer guy, why do I need to deal with your prayer circle at my place of work or at a basketball game, etc? If you want to pray, PRAY. Do you need a group to validate it for you?

I tend to think about this when we're doing congregational prayers in church.

Matthew 6:1-34 ESV
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ...

ESV
“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
My lord, what is the point of praying if everyone can't see you do it and know how holy and righteous you are?
It isn't like jesus told people to pray in their own home or that showing off your prayer is the opposite of being a good christian.
