Pray without ceasing.
I woke up this morning thinking about my prayer life and wondering if it is as good as it could be. In light of that, I spent some time studying prayer and was reminded of several things:
- We may pray anytime, anywhere, about anything! As we pray our way through the day, we are praying without ceasing.
- Prayer need not always be long. Short, sincere prayer filled with faith is sufficient.
- In addition to praying your way through the day, having a special place where you like to pray is also good.
- Ask in faith, believe you have received your request, and God will answer (Mark 11:24).
- Pray according to God’s will, not your own will.
- Pray at all times with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6). No matter what we need, we always have much to be thankful for.
- The fact that we pray is much more important than the methods we follow!
- When you pray, be aware that God is definitely listening.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for the privilege of communicating with You in prayer. Teach me to pray more effectively and to be led by Your Spirit in all my prayers.
