Praying Always

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit . . . (Ephesians 6:18a). 

Prayer should be an integral part of a Christian's life. It should come as naturally and automatically to us as eating, breathing, or anything else we routinely do. Set aside a special time to spend in prayer at least once a day. Say grace at every meal, and teach your children to pray. Then pray all throughout the day.

If you have concerns as you go about your work, say a brief, silent prayer as they occur. When good things happen, give a quick prayer of thanks. Pray for others you encounter, especially if you perceive they have a problem. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

This is how you pray always without ceasing. You make your life a series of prayers. Most Christians will tell you how powerful praying is, but how many of them put that into action the way they should? The more you sincerely pray, the stronger your faith becomes, the stronger you become, and the more you influence the world for Christ. 

Pray without ceasing (1Thessalonians 5:17).

Watch ye therefore, and pray always . . . (Luke 21:36a).
