Have similar problem and I get embarrassed when pastors tell that they cannot hear my voice
That pastor isn't serious, is he there to listen to ur voice? Such pastor won't hear from holy spirit since u ar d one he is monitoring.

Esther prayed silently nd God answered her, Our God is not deaf so you don't even need to make noise to get ur prayers answered.

Hope u knw ur prayers can't b answered when u use ur noise to disturb other ppl, don't b a nuisance in d society.

Pray with your heart and soul, it will be answered, God already knows our heart. Our father prayer is not up to 5mins.
Re: Help! I Can't Pray For A Long Period by SpartanKing: 8:45am On Mar 08, 2020
The easiest way to pray for at least 20 mins, is to continuously thanks God for what he has done in your life.

Did Jesus pray for long?

When you pray with pure spirit and in truth, believe me, your prayers will be granted.

Long prayers always involved repetitive words which Jesus corrected them off by saying 'do not make repetitive words when praying' Matt 6:7

Prayer is a thing of the Spirit and when praying, you have to be Spiritually connected. Selflessly release your self to the Holy Spirit and you will be directed what and how to pray.

So, in church during the prayer session, and after the prayer topic has been introduced, I find I can't pray for more than 30 seconds, 1 minute tops.

After that, I have nothing else to say. Yet I see others praying until whoever is leading the session intervenes and introduces another prayer topic.

What exactly are they saying for that long or are they just repeating themselves. I can't speak in tongues too, so that doesn't help my cause.

I also cannot pray loudly, I always whisper under my breath even when the pastor says to shout at the top of our voices, because that's just how I am.

Do these things I mentioned n hinder prayers from being answered?

Get baptised with the Holy Ghost and let him help you.

Pray however you want, as long as your heart is clean and you hold no grudges against anyone. You can’t dictate when God should answer your prayer too, he knows when. Btw, the best prayer to say is the Lord’s Prayer.... every other prayer is one way or the other included in it. Happy Sunday people! Don’t forget to patronize us, we do for car wraps, upgrades and sales. Stay safe, God bless you

Sir read ur Bible.

God does not need you to pray forever before HE answers his child. Even the prayer Jesus gave us was a very short prayer.

Is your God deaf? NO. Even Hanna was not praying loudly before God gave her a child.

Don't emulate others when praying. Let the Holy Spirit lead you, build you and grow you.

First of all develop a relationship with God. Recognise Him as you maker and father. Talk to Him adorably the way you talk to your father. That is prayer

As a Muslim and also as a Muslim that's reads the bible in depth am ashamed of you .

"For your heavenly FATHER knows what you want and this makes you to ask him in prayers saying OUR FATHER ".

Long prayers are for pharisee who repeat themselves in long prayers of only to show off to men that they are worthy . Let me remind you God or Allah knows what you want before you ask but he needs us to ask for it .
Re: Help! I Can't Pray For A Long Period by Donbrig: 8:49am On Mar 08, 2020
It is not about praying for hour or days, but praying with a sincere heart. Even if you pray for just 30seconds, no problem, but ensure you pray regularly with an open and sincere heart.

You are still very good. God understands all. When we pray, we prayed with sincerity and opening our minds to God. We all are not the same. Hannah in the Bible prayed quietly and God answered her prayers. So, when we pray, let it be directly to God as if one is speaking one on one with person. Prayer has no rule.

Shalom.

I stopped praying a long while ago...

God knows my heart and desires, knows what is best for me and is exceedingly capable of fulfilling them grin


If he can monitor my life without me reporting myself to Him, and on that basis send me to hell for sinning against him, isn't it just expected that he automatically knows all I need and will provide them

If He knows my sins, then he definitely should know my needs smiley

If he doesn't provide them without me asking, then I would be much better off taking matters into my hands than wasting time telling him what he already knows and hasn't provided...

You are not the only one.

I praise him first, ask for forgiveness second, and present all my heart desires lastly.

And you know what.., as short as my prayer may be, God answers them all. When I look around me.. All I see are my answered prayer.

Yet you have a porn photo on your profile..I think you need repentance first
