We live in a time that we can communicate or shop around the world in relatively a short amount of time. We can get thousands of answers to our questions on our phone in a matter of seconds or thousands of a second. We can transfer, send or receive money electronically in a few clicks. It seems like almost everything we want or need is being available to us faster and faster in a shorter amount of time and effort. So, what about praying? Can we get what we want or need in a short prayer? Do short prayers even work?

The bible has some really good examples of short prayers and how they worked. These examples should encourage us to pray, even if we don’t exactly know how to get started praying, and if we do pray they should encourage us to pray even more.
