Pray Without Ceasing

This verse may sound impossible at first glance, but we need to examine what Paul is telling us to do. He's calling us to a life of prayer, a constant walk with God. If we are obeying the spirit of this verse, our lives will revolve around God. Everything we do will point to God. Our lives will be lived for His glory. When we go to work, we will do everything as unto the Lord. When we see the beauty of nature it will remind us of God. As we relate to others, we will do everything as if it were to Jesus. When we make decisions, we will ask God first. We will remember that we are always living in God's presence.

 
 

This is a tall order and I feel that I have a long way to go in this area. Lord, help me to pray without ceasing. Help me to live my life in communion with You. Help me not to be distracted by all the things around me. Help me not to be too busy to pray. Help me to grow in my prayer life. Help me to speak with You and listen to You. Help me to fulfill Your plan for my life.
