It is a way to communicate to others by means of prayer. Besides that some people may believe that a group of people praying will make their voices stronger and louder. They believe God will hear them better if it is said as a group rather than a single person who may not be heard just as well.

Some people may even feel that because they pray, their prayers will answered and they will feel stronger as they know God is in their presence. Some may even feel protected because they acknowledge God is with them forever.
