PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
(1 Thessalonians 5:17)
The Bible often gives mandates that leave no room for alternatives. This verse is one of them. It is clear and concise. Obviously God considers prayer extremely important. What can we do to insure that we are doing just that? Let's look at some things we can do.
1. We can pray even while around other people during our everyday activities.
2, We can pray in various postures such as kneeling, standing, lying down, sitting, walking, etc.
3. We can pray at home; at church; at work; in the car; etc. You can pray silently if you are in locations where such would be more
appropriate.
4. Prayer should be a part of your regular routine although prayer should never be considered routine. Even though you may have a busy schedule, always take time to pray.
5. Make it a point to pray even when obstacles are in our way. Remember, Satan is never happy when God's people pray.
6. Prayer and laziness do not go together. Don't make excuses for not setting aside time to pray.
7. Pray because God commands us to pray and prayer changes things and people.
Of course there are many other ways and reasons that we can pray without ceasing. It is sufficient to say that we are living in difficult times which will only be changed by the prayers of God's people.
