Keep Your Prayers Short
Do not be hasty in word
or impulsive in thought
to bring up a matter in the presence of God.
For God is in heaven
and you are on the earth;
therefore let your words be few.
- Ecclesiastes 5:2 (NASB)

Words can be few and the prayer still long. I wonder if we don’t have a different concept of “short” in our culture. Christ considered 1 hour to be a short time for the Apostles to be praying…
And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Mat 26:40-41)
