Hello Friends,
I find myself reading a lot from the bible and other Christian books. I can read for hours and watch sermons and I feel very blessed and spiritually close to God When I Do.
But when It comes to prayers, I pray but I feel it is not enough. It is short and after a while, I don't know what to pray for anymore. I read in books about mighty men of God who pray for hours and hours and sometimes a whole day. But I feel sleepy and have many thoughts in my head that hinder me from praying longer.
Do you have any advice on how to pray longer?
There is a verse that I read it is:
"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. Matthew 6:7
Sometimes I find myself babbling and repeating the same phrases over and over. I would really like to pray longer and with meaningful words. I know that God is listening, But I feel like I am speaking with a person on skype that I can't see or hear, But I know he is there.
I find it hard to focus.
I would appreciate any advice, Thank you <3
