on praying

on reading the verse..
“..for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought..”
*was it the reason not to pray?*


and this verse..
"..and when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. for they think that they will be heard for their many words.."
*how many words, actually, do we need?*


my pastor once said..
“when someone asks you to pray together,
in the first 1-2mins,
you pray with him..

between 2-5mins,
you pray for him..

more than 5mins,
you pray against him..” *haha*


so, do you think it’s difficult to pray?
how should we pray then?
