During periods of crisis, when I am soooo overtaken with grief, confusion, anger, sadness, and in happiness, joy, and love that I need the extra support of others to keep me honest before God.

It helped me when I was facing major surgery. The elders and deacons of the church met with me, prayed with me, and placed their hands on my shoulders and on my head.
It was VERY spiritual and moving. I truly felt the presence of the Lord.
I also find engaging in communal prayer during a church service to be moving...prayers of thanksgiving and intercession for others.

Most commonly when when you are praying for something that interests the community involved.

When a person is feeling overwhelmed w/ grief, etc. It helps to feel as if someone other than you are bearing your burdens.
