In a recent seminar I attended I heard an amazing statistic. The leader said the average Christian prays 3-5 minutes per day. The average minister, however, does much better, as you would expect. He averages 7 minutes per day!
God is growing me in this area lately and I am convicted and challenged by a quote from a famous Puritan, John Owen:
"A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more."
God, draw near to me as I draw near to Thee! Make me more than I am!

That a really sad the avrage amount of time that a christian prays,we should give more time to God,just as he gave us more that we could live forever,i pray that my prayer life can be more than that.God gave his best his Son for us,so we should give him our best in prayer
