Question: How long should our prayers last? The Bible seems to say we should not pray very long: "When you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7). Answer: Heathen prayers always use vain repetitions. The mob at Ephesus cried for two solid hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians! Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"
