Short prayers are just as effective as long prayers. In fact sometimes they can be more effective. I believe when you seek the Father and His holy wisdom with a pure heart, He hears the prayers of the righteous. He knows your words before they are spoken and He hears your cries before they are shed so no need for fancy prayers in order to get the Lord's attention. I love to pray in the morning and just talk to Him and thank Him and praise Him for all He has done and sometimes it is nice just to be grateful and tell Him so. Prayer changes lives. There is power in prayer. Prayer works and we all must have a healthy active prayer life and we must pray for one another. Our church likes to say when someone says they need prayers or when someone says, "pray for me", we should pray on the spot. That way the person knows you mean it. Never doubt your own prayers. Be bold. I have to admit as outward as I am with my faith, I am very shy when it comes to outward prayer. I have always struggled with public speaking so I get very nervous to pray out loud. I pray for my own boldness in that area. So if you like me, feel shy, ask Him to remove that spirit and replace it with a spirit of boldness and assurance. It is okay to be honest, we are all human. But never let it stop you for furthering God's work. And always remember to believe that you will receive and it shall be done. Have a blessed day in Him.
Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Mark 9:29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
John 14:13-14 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it
