Even Jesus says this is wrong,
Matthew 6:6
Matt 10:27

There's a difference between prayer and preaching. I think the Quakers got this one right.
Mat 5:15,16
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
While, yes, I know this doesn't refer to prayer either, I think between this and the other verse I quoted, it tells us to not hide our connection to the Lord.
And I should, also, add one more verse that just spoke to my heart:
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them
