soaking worship - soaking prayer

It's almost as though the state of our day-to-day lives has not just invaded out personal lives, but overWHELMED them!
I know that there are still charismatic/full gospel type congregations that have extended times of worship in combination with extended times of teaching and ministry. So very many congregations have shortened their weekly services, bowing to the clock (IMO, of course) in an effort to be "respectful of people's time". YOY! Why not introduce them to the concept of setting aside time specifically to spend time in His presence, planning on it. and then DOING it!
We are too busy for God? My time not in church is more important than meaningful time in His presence? Sad that churches bow to that sort of perceived cultural pressure or influence.
Again, IMO.
