Prosy, sermonizing prayers are uncalled for and out of place in public. A short prayer, offered in fervor and faith, will soften the hearts of the hearers; but during long prayers they wait impatiently, as if wishing that every word might end it. Had the minister making such a prayer wrestled with God in his chamber until he felt that his faith could grasp the promise, “Ask, and it shall be given you,” (Matthew 7:7; Luke 11:9) he would in his public prayer have come to the point at once, asking with earnestness and faith for grace for himself and his hearers.
