Prayer - my default

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5v17 (KJV)

“Always keep on praying.” 1 Thessalonians 5v17 (TLB)

“Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly];” 1 Thessalonians 5v17 (AMP)

What an encouragement this is. Beloved, we are encouraged to pray continually, without ceasing, not getting weary in the place of prayer. Prayer is communicating with God. Never ever ever be tired of bringing God into the situation. It doesn’t matter what you see or do not see, honour God through your prayers. We need to let prayer become our default – being ever ready to invite God into our situations. Indeed Proverbs 3v5-6 (AMP) says “Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].” The Living Bible put it this way “If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.” Let us learn to put God first, to consider Him first, to seek the glory of His name first – in all we do.
