I regularly lead the prayers in the evening service of my church. Routinely, upon getting prayer requests from members of the congregation, I'll open and close the time of prayer.
I'll admit, it's not revolutionary. But, everything doesn't need to be on a weekly basis.
One thing that has been mentioned is that my opening prayers can be... a little generic.
This is quite intentional.
Upon taking prayer requests, I deliberately try to avoid using these points to open the prayer-time.
The reason?
I don't want to be a prayer thief.
I don't want to snatch away an opportunity for someone in the congregation to pray for something aloud because I've already "covered it."
