what about prayer leaders or pastors that lead long prayer sessions. would u say they lack faith also?

New International Version
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

New Living Translation
"When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.

English Standard Version
“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

New American Standard Bible
"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.

King James Bible
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
When you pray, don't babble like the idolaters, since they imagine they'll be heard for their many words.

International Standard Version
"When you are praying, don't say meaningless things like the unbelievers do, because they think they will be heard by being so wordy.

I think these is enough to support my opinion

Ref: Matthew 6:7

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?

AriDsexy:
Depends on ur relationship with God and d faith u have while making ur request known

Some people just praise and u see miracles happening.

dallyemmy:
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much

ignis:
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.

The length of the prayers especially in intercessory depends on the grace and appetite of the intercessor... Remember, the bible said; iron sharpneth iron and so does one sharpen the countenance of a brother...
If you key in with the intercessor or the prayer leader then you will see the above quote come to manifest and more light to it, the bible said in the nbook of roman that our body is weak but the spirit interceededs on our behalf...
Long prayers on point is a virtue of grace that you can't tell if you are doing it because you are riding on the frequency of the spirit... Most times when the spirit subsides in the intercession, you'll then discover that you've spent hours which wasn't intentional... All boils down to one's spiritual antenna
