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 the name of Jesus. Amen.
