This is a frequent question asked by many and I think the answer was suggested by Jesus to His disciples in Matthew 26:40.

Matthew 26:40
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Jesus Christ suggested that His disciples watch with Him one hour and then He follows up by saying, “watch and pray” (Matthew 26:41). So, if the disciples was to watch with Jesus one hour, then they were to pray also for one hour.

The same is applicable to all children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ today. You may find it difficult to pray for one hour initially, but you can start with fifteen minutes daily and build it up from there.

Do you think otherwise?

Alright, thanks for your contribution

You should pray long enough to say each prayer just once. If God exists, he has a very good memory, so you don’t need to repeat yourself.

Good afternoon Seun, you know if you were to teach on prayer, that's exactly what God would have you say-except for the "if God exists" part. God bless you dear brother.

Thanks, even the bible condemns vain repetition in prayer (Matthew 6:7).

But God does exist. I was having the same doubt in mind before I had a complete change and renewal of mind (Ezekiel 36:26).

Your own time of change in this era of "change" is coming

Pray with ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Basically there is no minimum or maximum hours of prayers. It all boil down to the individual, if he or she chooses 3 hours to pray,he should be consistent with it. What God watches is your consistency in prayers not necessary the hours spent. But again if you spent more time in his presence, you get more results

True. I have learnt the importance of consistency in prayer with this. I believe for this reason, apostle Paul admonished us to pray without stop/ceasing or vacation (1 Thessalonians 5:17).

So God loves to watch you pray hard and sweat before He grants your request? I don't do that to my kid, sometimes I grant his requests before he even asks.

That's you. Here what the Bible say in Luke 18:1-8
"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”

6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

You must be consistent in prayers. You can only pet your child for a while but there will be a time when you can continue pampering him or her. The situation of life will make you allow your child to fend from himself if not he can stand well.
