Pray without Ceasing

How is it possible to pray without ceasing? There are different forms of prayer and they are all addressed to the same person which is the One and only Triune God. We can recite written prayers which can be powerful as we speak them audibly and then there are prayers we can pray in the morning as we awaken or in the evening before we go to sleep or even throughout the day. Also, there are prayers we pray before meals and prayer requests as we are in need and also others who we know need prayer.

I’ve discovered to Pray without ceasing is a constant, continual flow in connection with the Lord. It is powerful, and a moment by moment communication with Him within our spirits, from the depths of our heart, through the Holy Spirit, such as praying in the spirit. It is not the same as setting time aside to pray such as reciting prayers or going to a prayer meeting at church etc. but this is a continual overflow from the heart with love and thankfulness in communion with Him every moment. Within our spirits we can interact with Him at all times, even when we get distracted and it will happen, we can still get back on track with Him. It is possible to converse with the Lord at all times within the spirit of our minds. God has set us apart for Himself and He longs for us to commune with Him always, not just once in a while. So, we need to make Him a part of our everyday lives in everything we do and everywhere we go. He is with us at all times and even in whatever we do at work or visiting a friend etc. He is there.

In Thess. 5:16-18 it says to Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks. As we continually acknowledge the Lord, we will rejoice…even if at times we don’t feel like it, this is what the Lord desires for us and requires from us. I find when I’m in communication with Him my heart rejoices, and it shows outwardly as well. Also, I want to add the scripture from Psalms 119:111 His word is the rejoicing of my heart. Then back to verse 19 in 1Thess. Ch.5 it says, Do not quench the Spirit.

If we keep ourselves in communion with the Holy Spirit that’s when we can rise above through His power and always rejoice, always pray (communing with Him) and always be thankful for everything that comes our way. Let’s don’t quench the Spirit and stop the flow of the living waters within us but keep them flowing and springing up like fountains with rejoicing, praying, giving thanks always for all things.

There are so many other things I could write as well regarding prayer, but I will stop here, and I pray this word is an inspiration to you.

May the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thess.5:23

Love & Blessings, Lollita Faith
