PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Some people think that to pray without ceasing means to pray
the whole day, but pray without ceasing simply means to pray every day. Jesus
told us that when we pray to go into our room and shut the door pray to the
Father who sees in secret and He will reward us openly.
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have
shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father
who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:6
Well Paul now says that we have to do it every day. Jesus
said something similar when he told us to watch and pray which simply means to
be alert and pray and we have to do it every day.
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit
indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Mark 14:38
But why should we pray every day? Prayer gives you
understanding and prayer makes you sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
So when you pray at the beginning of your day you become sensitive to the Holy
Spirit that particular day. So when He leads you, you just follow.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons
of God.
Romans 8:14
We also call praying everyday daily contact and it is a sure
way to live a glorious life. If you wanted to know how to have a successful
ministry, business, career, family and life in general this is the way to do
it. Pray without ceasing.
Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away
from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 4:5
Thought of the day: When I pray every day, I pray without
ceasing.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I can pray every
day, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
