It's the way we communicate with God. It isn’t necessary to pray out loud. God can hear us whether we pray out loud or silently. There be value to praying out loud, however. If you are asked to pray in a group, your words can be a source of praise to God and encouragement to others. At the same time, if we pray aloud in order to impress others, then it is a problem, because we are bringing attention to ourselves rather than to God. When in doubt, it’s better to pray silently, or at least privately. Here’s what Jesus advised: “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered only by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, because your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him.” (Matt. 6:7,8). And then Jesus gave His disciples the Lord’s prayer. Prayer is simply talking with God. It’s the way we communicate with God. It isn’t necessary to pray out loud.
