“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 All believers who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus are to pray without ceasing. For prayer maintains a worshipful attitude toward the Lord. And it demonstrates a humble dependence upon Him. We are to come boldy to His throne of grace to offer up our prayer, petitions, praise and thanksgiving. For prayer is the breath of the dependent soul that touches the heart of the Father. This call to pray follows His instruction to rejoice always. For the heart that rejoices in the Lord is the one that will keep their eyes fixed on Jesus. When we pray, we do not rely on our own strength, but we trust in the Lord with all our heart for our needs. Jesus is the best example of what it means to pray continually. He taught His disciples to pray (Matthew 6:5–13). He prayed before feeding the five thousand (Matthew 14:19–21). He prayed when He blessed the children (Matthew 19:13). He prayed in the morning (Mark 1:35) and in the evening (Mark 6:45–47). He prayed for His disciples and for all subsequent believers (John 17). He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36–42). He prayed from the cross (Luke 23:34). To pray without ceasing is to: Keep your heart tuned to God in the midst of chaos. Invite God into every moment, during the good and bad times. Let us live in an attitude of prayer, no matter what comes our way.
