In our culture of rugged individualism we have come to the conclusion that it is better to pray alone than with others.  Unfortunately, most of us never learn to do either one very well.  Like most disciplines of the Christian faith, we learn best to pray alone when we have been taught in community.
– Daniel Henderson

 Praying together provides an education in prayer for the entire church.
– Joel R. Beeke

 We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
– Charles Spurgeon

 If congregational or small group prayer isn’t part of your Christian life, there’s a problem.  Private-only prayer is not New Testament Christianity.  Prayer with others from the body of believers was one of the four marks of the church in Acts 2:42.  Some say they don’t pray with groups because they are too self-conscious when praying aloud with others.  This verse doesn’t say they all prayed aloud, but it does mean that they prayed together.  If you are unwilling to pray with others, you are too independent spiritually.
– Donald Whitney

 A congregation without a prayer meeting is essentially defective in its organization, and so must be limited in its efficiency.
– J. B. Johnston

 Praying regularly with others can be one of the most enriching adventures of your Christian life.  Most of the great movements of God can be traced to a small group of people He called together to begin praying.
