Solomon’s Humble, Heartfelt Public Prayer

At the temple inauguration, Solomon offered a heartfelt prayer in front of the people (1Ki 8:22; w09-E 11/15 9 ¶9-10)

Solomon praised Jehovah and did not draw attention to himself (1Ki 8:23, 24)

Solomon prayed with a humble spirit (1Ki 8:27; w99-E 1/15 17 ¶7-8)

Solomon provides a good example, especially for those who pray publicly. We should focus more on how we sound to Jehovah than on how we sound to people.
