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).

 
All glory to God almighty. Heaven opens up for us and the glorious presence of Jesus comes down to those who are faithuful and true to His word. Pray withtout ceasing... says the Lord. If we just do this every single day of our life, then blessings upon blessings shall come to our life.
