My grandmother went into her room to pray. She has been praying for 3 days now. Is it rude for me to go into her room and interrupt her prayer to see if she is OK?

I agree... A prayer can be 10 seconds long or however long you need. It's a conversation with God, much like conversations with people. I would check on her though.. she should have needed to come out to go to the bathroom or eat... go check and make sure she's ok. :)

Wow, that is wonderful, yet I have not been able to pray that long. But if you think that you grand mama has been there to long and think something must have happened to her, well, just enter quietly and check her breathing, which you can hear from a distance, you can even notice by the move of her stomach. I'm sure she is OK, so you don't call on her unless you see something Abnormal.
So that is very good that you care for her.
Pray to much or to little is OK, as long you do prayers of faith. Cause many people can pray for long hours, but all has been a waist. If you can pray at list an 1 a day, or let say, 15 minutes twice a day and then one in the night and other in the morning, that makes a whole hour, I believe you are in good shape with the Holy Spirit. Honestly sometimes I fail to do this because our flesh is so lazy, but I try to put my self to it.
God bless you and have a wonderful day.

There is no set time limit for prayer. A prayer time could mean a few minutes, hours or days. It all depends on the situation(s) of the individual(s) that need prayer.
Knock on her door and ask her if she is okay. If she answers yes, then let her be. If however she does not answer, knock again, if she still does not answer then go and check on her. It is nice to hear that you are worried about your grandparent. Some people don't worry about the elderly like they should now a days.

The length of prayer depends on the individual and what is going on with them at the time and how distressed or concerned they are about it. However, 3 days is a long time for anyone, especially if your grandmother is elderly or has health problems.
She definitely needs water and food in order to protect her health. I would check on her for sure.

Three days? Keep in mind the 'rule of threes;' three minutes without oxygen; three days without water; three weeks without food.
Unless your grandmother is a mystic who does that kind of meditating (extended 'prayer' is usually referred to as 'meditation') all the time, I would definitely make sure she is still alright!

Their is no limit for a Christian to pray, it left to the person who is praying, and who is good with words

Umm, unless your grandmother is praying for every single individual on this planet, she's probably not still praying.
