Prayer is a wonderful privilege.  It is an audience with the King.  It is talking to our Father.  How strange it is that people would ask  the question, “How much time should I spend in prayer?”  When a person is summoned to an audience with his king, he never asks, “How much time must I spend with the king?”  His question is rather, “How much time will the king give me?”  Any true child of God, who realizes that prayer is an audience with the King of Kings, will never ask, “How much time must I spend in prayer?”  Instead, he will ask, “How much time may I spend in prayer considering other duties and privileges?”
