I've had this theory lately that it's not really how long you pray, it's more of just talking....Heck, I don't know what my theory was. But, I do know I didn't think you needed to pray for an hour at a time. The amount of time you spent in prayer didn't matter.
My theory was that praying all day was the way to go. But, that is just a theory. I don't do that. In fact, after I leave my prayer chair, it's the very rare occasion that I even think to go to You or stop and listen. I also thought that we could just (and this is going to be borderline insane) tell You what we need, what's going on - no need to spew out hours of details or words that don't mean anything.
What I'm really realizing is that my prayer life is messed up. Ever since I stopped walking my brain is jumbled like Iga Swiatek's.
That's the first step. Then, maybe looking at what You did (prayed all night for who to pick as a disciple) and went away often to pray, would be a good second step.
Actually, maybe I should just pray to know how to pray.
