So what do you do in prayer?

So you come to prayer, you made it a priority,

and you don't know what to say.

Or maybe you're like, my prayer finishes in 60 seconds.

How do you keep it longer?

Well, the point is not to keep prayer longer.

In fact, Jesus rebukes that kind of view that sees the length of prayer as an indication of the results of prayer. He says, that's how Heathens do it. I don't want you to do it like that.

you come into your place, you know, start with thanking him. Thank him for protection,

thank him for good health, thank him for saving you, thank him for a local church. I mean,

just go down the list, everything that you can think of, just thank God. The attitude of gratitude

is huge to set your mood because

Thanksgiving is really a releasing of your faith. Your faith will begin to be strengthened
