Everyday Religion on Prayer Length and Grenfell's Conversion
The article argues prayer effectiveness rests on sincerity not length. It cites Dr. Wilfred Grenfell Grenfell and D. L.

It cites Jesus teaching on vain repetitions and cites Spurgeon favoring brevity, James noting Elijah’s brief prayer, and stresses persistent silent prayer as meaningful as spoken prayer.
