Are Long Prayers Usually The Most Effective? by UfuomaUN(m): 11:05am On Apr 19, 2015 |
One boring thing about church service this days is the long prayers. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against spending time praying to God or stuff like that. I just feel that when prayers get prolonged people loose interest most times especially when they have run out of words. I remember a certain time I was in a church service and the prayers lasted an hour! Knowing too well that the bible emphasises praying straight to the point and avoiding repetition of words while praying (God is not deaf after all) so why then do people pray for too long? Are long prayers more effective? 8 Likes 1 Share |

Lol Christians will never seize to amaze me. How can you expect people to close their eyes for One Good Hour? Nna this is wicked o At some point you start peeping and peeping...chai! The worst part is when you think the pastor is about to round up the prayer...only for him to say "now i want you to remember our brethren in south africa.."... Nna e..na now prayer just dey start ooo..after 1hour already...wetin?? Wetin? Na we kill jesus? 20 Likes |

Prayers are never effective whether long or short. You are praying to no one. Get up and take action. 3 Likes |

It's a sin to be in a prayer just to get the admiration of the congregation or to show off as somebody who know the scripture passages. This is according to a Radio programme on Kapital fm Abuja today by an MFM pastor Peter Obi of Lugbe region. It doesn't matter the time frame for prayer as long as it is genuine and the prayer not ill intended. 2 Likes |

Whether long or short prayer, it depends on your faith. So many people like op, mistake prayers to be just asking whatever you need from God. But, praising and worshiping God, telling him how great he is, is also prayer, and can last all day. 10 Likes |

Depends on the leading of the spirit. Buh some persons are not led by the spirit. To some they feel the longer the prayer the better. |

Re: Are Long Prayers Usually The Most Effective? by sammieguze(m): 11:19am On Apr 19, 2015 |
Boring.... Esp when i consider the fact that i worship a God who knows my heart and just said ask... And it shall be given unto you. Infact.... After making my petition known to him in summary, i just round up my prayer. IMO, i think God short prayers re more effective. I just imagine God to be the HR manager of a coy dashing miracles with peoples player requests as applications.

no Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Matthew 6:23-34 And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. ... I wonder why many churches kept doin this, and is some times boring. I believe 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. has it all 3 Likes 1 Share |
