How Long To Pray?


"What does it matter how long I pray, so long as my prayers are answered?"
--Sitting Bull, HUNKPAPA LAKOTA

We should spend our lives praying. Praying, praising, thanking God for all the good things He's blessed us with.

However, we're so impatient and selfish, sometimes we pray and pray and then get mad at God for not hurrying up and answering our prayers.

Sitting Bull was right. It's all in God's time, not ours. As long as God answers our prayers, who are we to whine about having to wait a little while? Maybe there's a good reason for it. Maybe by being forced to wait, we avoided some terrible circumstance, accident, even death.

We don't know what God's plan is, so we need to just keep praying.

And praying.

And praying.
