I have been to gazillion different meetings while in the LC with all kinds of pray-reading, done in different ways, to different degrees, different expressions; much, little, loud, soft, repetitive, quick, spontaneous, planned, living, not so living, etc. etc. etc.

As a conclusion, in my experience, it has been overall pretty good, some experiences have been outstanding. The main negative thing that I have observed is when we fell into a routine and not turn the heart to the Lord, not address Him, not come to Him, not open to Him. This is a common mistake that can happen anywhere. The Lord taught against this numerous times, saying things like, your lips honor Me but your hearts are far away from Me, you search the scriptures....but you do not come to Me.

Whether personal or corporate pray-reading, it is a good, I would say even crucial aspect of the christian life and the practice of the church.
