From my experience it is around three times.

It is interesting to use your idea of dependency on the person's heart to look into the heart of WL by his recommended calling practice. The number of calls that can be done in serveral minutes were the same number of calls he needed to get closer to God.
The Spirit and the Body by Witness Lee
There are times when I have nothing to speak. However, after calling on the name of the Lord for a few minutes, I have a great deal to say.
Some meetings may be started simply by calling on the name of the Lord for several minutes.

Isn't call upon the Lord a form of asking God's presence? Why isn't it counted as "to ask God for something continually"?
Anyway, this time you don't have to answer my questions. I used to be frustrated. But now I am more amused looking at how your logic/mind works.
