What does it mean to pray without ceasing? | GotQuestions.org

Paul’s command in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing,” can be confusing. Paul is referring to an attitude of God-consciousness and God-surrender that we carry with us all the time. Every waking moment is to be lived in an awareness that God is with us and that He is actively involved and engaged in our thoughts and actions.

When our thoughts turn to worry, fear, discouragement, and anger, we are to consciously and quickly turn every thought into prayer and every prayer into thanksgiving. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul commands us to stop being anxious and instead, “In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" ((Philippians 4:6, 7). He taught the believers at Colossae (Colossians 4:2) to devote themselves “to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Paul exhorted the Ephesian believers to see prayer as a weapon to use in fighting spiritual battles (Ephesians 6:18).

Our dear Lord did it all the time. Wherever He went, whatever He did, He prayed, He praised and adore Him who sent Him to die for us. The temple of the Lord should be a house of prayer, we are that temple, we should be in prayer wherever are.

Amen. Keep the Heavenly communication channel open with God at all times. Why wouldn't you want the best guidance available 24/7? Think about it family. Why hang up on God?

"Prayer is simply talking to God—and the most important thing I can say about this is that God wants you to talk to Him! He loves us and He has promised to hear us when we pray. How can you learn to pray? First, understand why prayer is possible."
~ Billy Graham

Prayers are one of our Father's greatest gifts given to us. It is such a privilege made possible by Jesus. Thank God for the privilege of prayers.
