"Throughout Paul's first letter to the Church at Thessalonica, he outlines the character and life of a believer. One of the key components in living a Christian life, he says, is to continually be in prayer.
Prayer is fellowship with God. It was an essential part of Paul's walk with the Lord. He had experienced the benefits of spending time in prayer, so he knew firsthand how vital it was for followers of Jesus.
Praying without ceasing can sound like a daunting task. After all, we have jobs, school, families to look after, and sometimes even a social life to maintain. How can we always be in prayer and function in our everyday lives?" |

It begins with focusing our hearts and minds on Jesus at the start of each day. Then, throughout our daily activities, we remind ourselves of Scriptures and keep our minds focused on godly things. Then, prayer and talking with God is a natural byproduct of the time we have already spent thinking about Him.
When we pray without ceasing, we can take every care, worry, and need to God as we encounter it. The lines of communication are constantly open between God and us. We can approach His throne with boldness and confidence in our relationship with Him.
Those who pray "without ceasing" don't rely on their own strength; rather, they have learned to trust in the Lord with all their heart, soul, and mind, relying on His strength.
